Miss Emily
my quiet companion.

Shall you be the one that came,
perhaps to be most like me...
will you understand
a Grandmother's quiet moods best?
Are you to be the one
to look into written wanderings,
knowing the why?

When you gaze into hazel eyes,
will you follow their trail onto a new
horizon?

Might you pick up a pen
early on, to scribble as you sit beside me,
while we share our imaginations’
drifting, to take us places
not yet visited.

Look at you, come directly
from castles in skies, a pure
rainbow’s beginning, a gift from dancing clouds ~
a sprite that calmed thundering heads.

Oh, yes, you will dance,
to the music within your soul,
a slight ballerina of word,

fey of mind, and light of touch,
inherently you will
know of matters,
perhaps without understanding why,
from whispers received today.

You shall follow the cursive
lines, breathing new life
into a spirit that has always ballooned
with laughter…
you will be the gold
to light our days.

For I see it in your smile
and feel it in your
hands.

You may indeed feel all that you say, but I am seeing one little Miss Emily who definitely lives in your heart, in a wonderfully connected way. Yes she could indeed be the one! Lovely Gramma, and by the way, I can never get enough baby pictures so keep them coming.

Yes my dear friend..
Emily may just be the one..
to follow in her grandmother's footsteps.
Why look at her hands?!
Are they not the hands of a word-dancer?

Perhaps..yes, perhaps Emily will be the one.
~Softly smiling at you m'friend~

She just stole my heart! I want to pick her up and kiss her to bits! Your spritely little muse is sure to amuse! She's adorable. I can see that Emily is thinking up a poem as she sleeps!

I love the name Emily. Both my daughters said that if they have a daughter one day, they'd call her Emily. The race is on! lol

Congratulations on your new grandaughter--and on such a fine poem!

Loves & hugs to you both!
Linda

Karilea

Look at that contented face...an angel for sure...and perhaps one day a poet. I know she is certainly well loved by her grandmother.

Well now...Miss Emily is already quite the charmer and I think by the quiet smile on her perfect face, she knows it too.

Wonderful write Karilea for this pretty in pink blessing. hugs to you both, Chris

I loved this whole piece Karilea ... just beautiful. The stanza above really captures my ponderings this morning ... wonderful!

Best wishes,

This is lovely, Karilea. Miss Emily is off to a great start having the love of someone like you.

She is precious... and this is delightful! *S* Perhaps, indeed... but you'll love her no matter what her choices. *S*

Oh Karilea, what a precious little pumpkin! I hope you will continue to share pictures with us as seeing babies is such a joy and one that I personally never get tired of!!

She may well be the one.

Such beautiful thoughts and may she receive the gift.

Huggles and luvs to you and your family, Marti
