It’s all about choice…an
"I Am" Hopeful for Miss Emily…

I am at the cusp of life, and searching…and
I wonder how my grandmother understands that
I hear the magic of every day.
I see mysteries that are so high;
I want things I cannot even imagine yet, see my hands…
I am at the cusp of life and searching

I pretend things I do not even know about, as
I feel in tune with smiles and
I touch hearts easily…
I worry about things I cannot yet tell others;
I cry easily, for I do not know how to hide my fears, just yet…for
I am at the cusp of life, and searching…

I understand that my mother and father love me;
I say simple things, just now, but
I dream of enigmas…and
I try to grow a bit each day, physically and mentally…for
I hope to fulfill the dreams I cannot yet explain;
I am at the cusp of life, and searching…

This is my grandchild, Miss Emily...and the picture was taken by her very adept mother, and our poet, The One & Only....

I love this picture...

Thank you, all...

She, as are all of my grandchildren, is quite special...ask any grandmother.

However, this particular photo spoke aloud with whims and future hope...and I specifically desire that all who gaze upon this, realize that we are only here for those we leave behind...

Thank you all...your comments are as precious as this love of mine...and it suits all of her siblings, step and otherwise; as well as her cousins....
