I wrote my best poems about children when I worked at the daycare. When I have kids I think I'll be able to write children poems again. Small children just spark something inside of you that no one else can. Great job

Babies do many things for us...
love, sweetness, innocence, reminds us of mortality, infinity, and beauty.
Your poem says so much..
I am glad you are able to have these cherished moments to be with her.
It flies swiftly, as you know.
Well done.

This is a really good piece
of work, each verse speaking
of the joy you feel when with
your grandchild --- granchildren
are such a blessing -- you cannot
help but smile when with them.


Thank you for sharing.
Margaret.

Jan, great writing and your notes tell it all. I only hope that when my daughter delivers in a couple of months, we have a healthy, kicking and infrequently yelling child such as you've been blessed with. Great work

Don't they understand the blessings belong to me - I sure understand that from your gorgeous collection of poetry -
hearing God's still voice through your beloved granddaughter - what better way?
Lexi, God's divine plan come true - you're about to make me cry again!!! Brooke

I know exactly how you feel. My granddaughter is my favorite thing in the whole world. I watch her too, and she always makes me laugh. Her love heals me. Great thoughts put down on paper. I loved it.
