The Little Gifts It was several years ago Her sensitivity in shine Making me so very proud To call this young one, mine A song had rested in her heart Some thing of wind, and wings, A tear appeared in the gift she gave My throat caught as Bette would sing About shadows, and sunlight, and some wind Beneath those wings that would fly A little gift of touch to heart Surprised at the tear in my eye ~*~ In later years of older now, Her compassion still in glow She knows her mother inside out Her imagination all in show All wrapped up in paper and bow All waiting to be undone Five journals for each grandchild And one for the child to come “Put it them your words and thoughts, your poetry for each child, you see...” Now six books with pages blank, Waiting for the soul of me. ~*~ In the little gifts of thought, and touch, Where emotions surely exist Will the moments of ever best Dwell in books like this. Where the song of wind, and wing, And of a daughter’s love Bind the memories still to come To soar in God’s heavens above. ~*~ Dedicated to my daughter, Krystal Joy  [This message has been edited by Sunshine (12-28-2003 08:34 AM).] |

This is beautiful...I think when Chelsea is doing her teenage bit (I know you remember), I will have to pull out this poem. So, I am keeping this one to get me through the next few years... Hugs, Patricia |

Thank you all. She is especially adept at knowing how to please someone, by watching them carefully and realizing her own connection with them. I love her very much! |

Love's the truest gift, especially when it is shown in this way, by taking the time and spending the energy to create a thing of beauty. |
