 The Baby in the Corner There’s a baby in the corner making noises with her mouth the sound is babble gabble and I know what it’s about Sometimes with just and upward turn it takes me to a smile then it slides back down the scale and is quiet for awhile Her twinkle is in toes and eyes for flat she cannot stand take hold her tiny little mitts and she comes up straight and grand I know when she is sleepy for the hand rubs at the eyes and in her voice the cranky comes and if ignored she cries But if I lay her on her back under ceiling full of stars and just a peek of light from shade she sleeps as if in car A super Wednesday treat for me in the corner of my heart now pressed in pattern on my home her presence is now a part -------- with thanks to Nan for helping me with the photo |

But if I lay her on her back under ceiling full of stars and just a peek of light from shade she sleeps as if in car A super Wednesday treat for me in the corner of my heart now pressed in pattern on my home her presence is now a part ========================= So, is this when I can say I told you so?  LOLAnyone ever tell ya "grandma" looks good on you.  And those cheeks of hers are juicy fruit!!! they just need to be squeezed and kissed When man is lead to arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations |

Funny - We do really have a good idea what their babble gabbling is about, don't we?... This is a very special little one, and you obviously have some special inspiration in her...  |

"I know when she is sleepy for the hand rubs at the eyes and in her voice the cranky comes and if ignored she cries But if I lay her on her back under ceiling full of stars and just a peek of light from shade she sleeps as if in car" (smiles) OH MY GOSH, THIS IS SOOOOOOOO ADORABLE, I LOVE THIS!!! (kiss on cheek) Awwwwwww, the baby is sooooooo cute just as you are such a good mother to it! This is a delightful heartwarming poem, sweet friend, this made me cry in joy, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Martie, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Beautiful photo flower girl! Heh heh someone in the comments said Grandma looks good on you and I couldn't agree more! Love these... "But if I lay her on her back under ceiling full of stars and just a peek of light from shade she sleeps as if in car A super Wednesday treat for me in the corner of my heart now pressed in pattern on my home her presence is now a part" |

I told Janet Marie on Wednesday that I needed a poem...she said that Samantha would give me one. She was right..she usually is. Not a perfect poem, for sure...but the subject sure is! And, the ceiling of stars...was from when my son was a boy...and stuck all the stars and moons up there...that glow in the dark. Never wanted to take them down or paint over them...never will!! |

And the warmth that she gives you is radiating from your smile too! I think you forgot one thing - the shiver, does she do the 'shiver' LOL, ours does, and guess what that one means? Oh your Grammie suits you and to see you rhyme is devine! she truly is so delicate and her features so feminine, what a cutie patootie Martie. There is nothing means more to me than |
