I looked at her to see
mascara running down the sides of her face
Mixing with a lot of tears
Of fustration mostly

She glanced at me through tear glass eyes
Like a rain showered wind shield without window wipers
Stoping to take my hand
playing with my fingers
carefuly fingering my rings

Then, something happened that surprised me
She smiled at me
A little smile
On her little face
What could I do but
Just smile back.

I took a tissue and wiped up the rain,
took her hand and walked with her to the playground
where she gladly played for hours on the swings

I sat watching
perched
on slanting monkey bars
knowing better than to leave my makeup just laying around.

Hope you enjoyed this fun poem!
Yours,
Joy

This is sweet, Joy! It reminded me of when my daughters were little and getting into my makeup and now it is my granddaughter who is always asking to borrow mine! My, does time fly! Thanks for the memories!

How joyful.. I like this..

MAY THE ROAD RISE TO MEET YOU,
MAY THE WIND BE ALWAYS AT YOUR BACK
MAY THE SUN SHINE UPON YOUR FACE
THE RAINS FALL SOFT UPON YOUR FIELDS
AND, UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN,
MAY GOD HOLD YOU IN THE PALM OF HIS HAND
