That is a sweet picture that you 'painted' for us to see!

Who doesn't like to have a wee baby asleep against our shoulder, with their rosebud lips, ocassionally pursing them, as they sleep?

this poem is so endearing ... so well written
thank you, Janice

Another sweet 5-7-5 in your series. I very much enjoyed your use of alliteration in this one. You found a terrific picture to illustrate your poem.

Hi Jan,
I smile. Your poem reminds me of those days when I bonded with my first grandchild and your right, it doesn't get any better. Thank you for sharing and reminding me of those comforting days. God bless and best wishes!

Cindy sleeps on my shoulder now and then, too. she'll never get too old for me to allow that. love, jan

jan,
LOL i am glad to hear this. my daughter tells me she will still want to sleep close by me when she is forty. i do see a different attachment that i have with her than my mom and me. maybe its the age. i had my daughter when i was forty. my mom was twenty when they adopted me. huge difference.
love,
barbara
