When you turned seventeen I got really depressed I miss braiding your hair and picking your dress As a child you were funny but always polite Having children was my love my life my sunlight I realized I'm done having babies of my own and cry because I'm going to be alone Raising you was a delight I just wanted it to go slow I have so many good memories watching you grow Your sister noticed I seemed sad and pretty cold I told her I just wanted more babies to hold Realizing your age came as a total surprise You grew up so quick so good and so wise Having Grandchildren is the answer for me Just give me one Either, a he or a she My great love for you you won't understand Until you have your own child and hold it's small hand |

They learn, soon enough...I remember my daughter telling me to quit calling her "baby" at age 18...then at 20, she had her own. Now, now, she knows...and called one day, and said, "Mom? You can still call me baby, if you wish." Welcome to Passions! Please, check your E-mail for a Special Greeting! Karilea - if I whisper, will you listen? |

  (tears of joy fall down my cheeks) Oh my gosh, now I'm crying because of your most gorgeous and loving debut, dearest friend, though I am only 19 and haven't reached that time to become a father yet, I dream so much of having children in the future so I can give more love and know even more how much my mom and dad love me, and I understand how growing up and letting go can be difficult, but know always your children will love you with all their hearts! (big hugggsssssss) This is beautiful, sweet friend, I love it! Welcome to Passions, sweet Julia, may you be inspired by all of us here as we will all be inspired by your lovely words! I can't wait to read more of your lovely poetry, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Julia, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton I don't need no proof when it comes to God and truth |
