We're welcoming our newest, Little Hannah Jo has come. She's newer than the new year, Or the new millenium. She has a lot of long black hair. This is great surprise. The wisdom of the ages Is showing through her eyes. The world must seem so strange to her, She handles it with aplomb. She's stolen all our hearts away; A beauty like her mom. Hannah Jo is less than one day old, And as I meet her gaze, I wonder what it would be like To have no yesterdays. No sorrows and no sad regrets And no what might have beens. Only her name is on the page As her new life begins. Written on her birthday, 01/04/2001 |

There is nothing so beautiful, as the birth of a baby. And such a beautiful writing for her. Lucky she is to have such a tender loving grandmother. |

Absolutely beautiful and delightful. btw, is her mom your daughter? You wouldn't be biased would ye? Heh-heh-heh. I agree especially with Poet DeVine's idea of making this one a keepsake, it's wonderful! |

Congradulations! What a warm and beautiful write! The poet is like a cocoon; in him the caterpillar of the past finds rest, and from him the butterfly of the future emerges. |

What an intriguing thought...to have no yesterdays....which is exactly what a one day old baby is! I love it! |

Joyce Johnson, you are so lucky to be able to hold your Great grand! Aren't they wonderful? Don't you wish you could bottle the smell of a new born? Thank you for sharing with us. Hugs ME |

Joyce, What a beautiful and touching tribute to her. I am sure when she grows up, she will treasure this always. Wonderful writing!! Lone Wolf Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |
