My Girls!

You have nothing in this world more precious than your children. When you grow old, when your hair turns white and your body grows weary, when you are prone to sit in a rocker and meditate on the things of your life, nothing will be so important as the question of how your children have turned out. It will not be the money you have made. It will not be the c

ars you have owned. It will not be the large house in which you live. The searing question that will cross your mind again and again will be, How well have my children done? If the answer is that they have done very well, then your happiness will be complete. If they have done less than well, then no other satisfaction can compensate for your loss

Christmas 2013

Christmas is a time for love and fun, A time to reshape souls and roots and skies, A time to give your heart to everyone Freely, like a rich and lavish sun, Like a burning star to those whose lonely sighs Show need of such a time for love and fun. For children first, whose pain is never done, Whose bright white fire of anguish never dies, It's ti

me to give your heart to every one, That not one angel fall, to hatred won For lack of ears to listen to her cries, Or arms to carry him towards love and fun, Or friends to care what happens on the run To adult life, where joy or sadness lies. It's time to give your heart to everyone, For God loves all, and turns His back on none, Good or twisted, ignorant or wise. Christmas is a time for love and fun, A time to give your heart to everyone.

Our Granddaughter Bella

Little Granddaughter I'll always remember the day you were born, All bundled in pink, so precious and warm. I said a prayer for a dream come true, Blessed to be given a granddaughter like you. To hold a baby from my own, A greater joy I've never known. Memories of babyhood fill my heart, This time my role a gentler part. Little grandd

aughter, I promise you time, To give you all the love that is mine. To savor your sweetness and little girl ways, To turn the ordinary into fairytale days. To walk hand in hand at your pace, To delight in your smile and precious face. To laugh like I was a young girl again, To join in games of make-believe friends. Together we are life's perfect pair, Both free to love without a care. I know so well that children don't last, We'll cherish each day before it's passed.
