A smile bright beams from your face As tiny fingers work each lace You scream with glee - 'I tied my shoes!' I'm filled with awe, begin to muse. Will life's each challenge be thus met With courage firm and not much fret; Will wonderment e'er fill your soul; What lies ahead for you, Nicole? This is my heartfelt hope, my prayer May troubles sore not be your care; May child's dreams for you come true; A kindly lot is wished for you. Let innocence and you ne'er part; Find loveliness in ev'ry heart; Seek beauty in each passing face; Greet each new dawn filled with His grace. When grandkids of your very own Cause muse so gentle to be sown Long years ahead when I'm not there Recall my love and Mom-Mom's prayer. ...As tiny fingers work each lace A smile breaks across my face. For my granddaugher, Nicole (Ahhh, Christian, don't cry, I'm writing one for you too!) ------------------ Denise [This message has been edited by dsnyder (edited 02-27-2000).] |

Ahhh...beautifully done Denise. So much hope for those grandkids...you never want them to loose that innocence. Nothing more precious. Thank you for writing this. ------------------ Julie ------------------------- Almost all our misfortunes in life come from the wrong notions we have about the things that happen to us. >Stendhal |

Touching ... brought a smile to my face, too! Hugs for you and Nicole ... Nocht ------------------ "Nunc lento sonitu dicunt, morierus" (Now as I hear this bell tolling softly for another, it says to me, "Thou must die.") |

Wow! This is soooo wonderful. "Let innocence and you ne'er part." I almost cried reading this...remembering teaching my girl to tie her shoe. Exquisite poem, Denise. ------------------ Michael Anderson Is all that we see or seem but a dream within a dream? |

So beautiful Denise. I think that the shoes of that child were laced with my heartstrings. I felt the tug. |

Truly beautiful, Denise! I can't wait to see the one for your grandson. ------------------ *Elizabeth* "Dwelt a maid belov'd and cherish'd by high and low, But with autumn leaf she perish'd, long time ago..." "Something sweet, something sort of grandish, sweeps my soul when thou art near..." |
