Hello, it's been quite a while since I've been on this site but here goes. I'm a mom of 3 and grandma of 11. I began writing when my children were small.

I look back and see my home, a ball of fire.

A Child’s Wish

As a child explores the outer world,
Have you ever seen a wish twirled?

A dandelion in its final days...
The puffy ball of seeds sets a child to a daze.

"Why does it do that, Mom," says the little voice next to me.
You make a wish, then you...
