Where have the years gone? They say 'don't blink your eyes' but.. How could it be.. wasn't it just yesterday that I gave birth to an incredible daughter Your..Mother ~ My..'Bella'. Her growing up years.. ballet classes the laughter the tears seems like yesterday.. And here you are oh, but I see her reflected there ~ in the two of you.. such times I have to catch myself, a certain look, a tilt of the head, the eyes..the smiles..the giggles. I remember... wasn't it just yesterday? Your Mom and Dad are doing a fine job Raising two lovely young ladies. And each of you celebrating birthdays! Thirteen and Sixteen.. And this Grandma is SO very proud! I remember the nights each of you were born, seems like... yesterday. Would someone please make time stand still that I may savor a little longer these precious days.. |

"Would someone please make time stand still that I may savour even more these precious days..." This is lovely...Sometimes, I look at my little girl of 6 years and worry that she is growing up so fast. Perhaps I feel it so because I have a 22 and 14 year old as well and it seems like yesterday when they were both tiny ones. Yes, indeed, I do savor my time with her. So great to read your work again.

This is a lovely tribute. Do you remember the "New Christy Minstrels" tune "Turn Around"? "Turn around and she's a young girl going out of the door" Lovingly written. KJ Through rubble and trouble and dark of night |

they ar e beautiful and those smiles tell me you have reason to be proud! This is a lovely tribute and a good warning - my granddaughter is almost 4 and the time has gone so fast I can hardly believe it! She will be a teenager in a heartbeat! And yet, I have never written a poem for her except one haiku to go with a picture of her playing in the snow...poerhaps this will inspire me |
