 What I remember most is that big rock with steps carved into it and the moment we were climbing it. I stuck my head out of the vines hanging below my torso and looked out at you. I don't know if you saw me or not, but it looked like you were smiling at me and it was as if the whole world stopped. ~ JoJo Johnson, 11 years old my little gift girl a pair of long legs with eyes wisp of air speaking of memories as if you are old enough to have them only a moment ago you held my finger spoke your first babbleword sang way down yonder on the Indian nation rode my pony on the reservation laughing bouncing on my knee no notion of what it meant but you sure could belt it and now you tell me the whole world stopped on the side of a rock young memory serves you well my golden girl I felt it too yes the whole world stopped when I smiled at you _______________________ JoJo is my granddaughter and a young poet her depth of soul delights me |

OhKate~ She is precious and your poetic voice brings that smile right into my heart~ Aren't we grandmothers just the luckiest people in the whole wide universe? Yep, we are~ *Huglets*  ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

Lady Kate, it is apparent that the petal fell close to the rose. You both have such lovely, poetic souls. Like yourself, she is a very old soul and can offer much beauty to this world. God bless you both! Loving Light, Linda |
