(For my granddaughter, Nicole Lynn) 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. 10/99 [This message has been edited by dsnyder (edited 06-21-2000).] |

Sweet and so nice, you have done well Denise The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools. |

Another wonderful piece about a wonderful grandchild from you!! This one is very sweet!! Poetry about children makes me happy...cuz it brings me back to memories of my childhood and gives me hopes for children of my own!! I loved this Denise!!

I think is a lovely poem for your grandaughter...someone else wrote one for their garndson and I think you will live forever in their hearts and sould through such lovely words... like I said Immortal If all was light...then I would have never learnt the dark...from which such truth evolves from which evolves the light...

Thank you, Avanti, yes I wrote one for my grandson too. Well, actually, I wrote a few for each of them but the two I posted here for possible inclusion in the book were my favorites. I'm glad you liked them too! Denise |
