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 is a repost from a while ago. I wanted to see what it looked like with the graphic since I can do graphics now! This is also going to be in the book when it comes out. It's one of my favorites.* |

Now there's a picture that I can put myself into... As a matter of fact Cassandra's working on the shoelace thing at the moment... Isn't it fun???... Waft every crest upon your destined sea. Embrace the Wave of Serendipity, Lest its elusive arcane ecstasy Refurl with sail for all eternity. |
