she sat close by with a smile and curls cherub-face exposed to a watching world a love so early, measured by mistakes living a life with what it takes to forget the wrongs and forgive the flaws a world speeds by without a pause no notice of her beauty, a moment in time captured forever as if to remind a night in passion's play, wild and unrehearsed to quench a desire, to slake a thirst she sits with a grandfather so proud, yet blind to the errors of love so that he could find the joy of his life in smiles and curls while he holds his head high in the eyes of the world |

Grandpa means the world to my boy. He lives for his grandkids. Thanks for a very nice poem T.S. |

Bobby, Bill, and Trace, thank you all for the kind words...though I am a grandfather myself (and very proud of it), this was not written for or about my grandchildren...went out to eat tonight and a little girl was sitting with her grandparents in the booth next to us...within minutes, I knew the story of her life, theirs, and the little girl's mother. If I had a picture of her, you would immediately see how she was the inspiration for this one...thank you all and Merry Christmas |

Beautifully done steavenr. The stuff of poetry is everywhere, and I've lost count of the many times I've been inspired in some public place where life unfolds into art. Congrats!--- art |
