For Love has Come Around (with gratitude and love to my son, Jay, and grandaughter, Samantha, on her third birthday) ![]() Covered with Love Your baby hands were big even then, big enough to reach out and touch the place where love is. You waved them like wings, trying to capture the light of dust that slipped around your curved palm. You opened something with your tiny fingers, something invisible, made from heaven’s weave, then you wrapped me in it and it gave me grace. Now, with your big blanket of love, I see you have found the same fabric, for you cover her with such tenderness that I weep. I could never find the words to tell you. Now you know. (reposted from 11-13-01) ![]() My son I remember when you were two you tripped over cracks in the cement with run-down sneakers sun-drenched hair the sea in your eyes you tossed my heart about your youth as I sang in dance around the room with you in curl of whirl amazed time ticks to fast forward to you still gleam of smile in me to watch the tender hand you give for as you watch me with your child you tell me how you see now how I was with you ![]() for Love has come around again ----------- There is often so much strife in life....I look back, remember...life continues to bless me. Thank you for reading this repost that gladdens my heart. |

Oh, this plays lovely on the heart strings - so very sweet - ![]() Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind. |

Martie Each time we make the circles round We see the moment more profound. Each time we make the circles round We see the grace of life rebound. You are blessed. |
