Ny first grandchild



14 years ago today you came into my life
you opened those dark eyes and chased away all strife
the sound of your voice was like nothing i had ever heard
my life forever changed, god had finally given our reward

so very thankful to your mom, she let me share your glow
every day I had special time with you, i watched you grow
when you started to walk i knew sadly i must let you fall
the years seemed to simply fly by we each gave our all

and now you no longer need my hand or even a hug
but surely deep in your youthful heart still my baby bug
what ever challenges or strife life may bring your way
you are truly and deeply loved and that will bring new day

no longer a child, now a young women almost fully grown
mind, heart, soul over flow with hopes, dreams your own
 I  hope you know no matter how very far apart we are
no matter what you are and always will be shining star

Taylor i know one day you will take this world by storm
from my heart i ask please don't be in a hurry as you transform.

hello I am a 50yr old mother of five and grandmother of seven. i just recently married my best friend of ten years, i dont know what took us so long, all i know is that we were meant to be he is truly my soul mate. about 20yrs ago i wrote all the time i managed to put together a book of poems called growing pains but as i am poor at spelling and punctuation and there was no such thing as lap tops and no spell check i trusted a close friend to edit it, i failed to keep my own copys why i dont know well i never saw her or the book again. most of the poems were painful dark heart felt poems because my life was in a really bad place and i felt like a fool for trusting her. well i refused to write after that for a long time then life started getting better as i grew and searched intill i found my self i started thinking about writing again but as i had only written from a place of intense pain i had no idea where to start so i wasted 20yrs of living what i now realize could have been great verse. than on the night of my wedding i wrote two souls joining and my new husband got his first look at my verse and was impressed {of course he is biased] i often tell him that if the world could see me thru his eyes life would be a trip. well anyways he started encouraging me to to atleast write ten min a day. well that was sept 13th and i feel as tho i have found my voice again and this time i found my self able to write both happy and sad. i look forward to sharing my work with all of you and injoying all your wonderful writes as well. and who knows maybe someday i will come across a book of poetry called growing pains and all that will matter is that its being read. i wish you all many great writes and i thank you all from the bottem of my heart for the time you spend reading my work thank you for the input. be blessed more…
