Look at Her!

Look at her!

She was born

early on a Tuesday morn.

Her eyes are gray,

with a hint of blue

and her limbs are long and sinewy.

With mother, Elise

and father, Chris,

she entered the world

filled with bliss

and enough love to last a lifetime.

There is nothing like a newborn babe

to show us what really matters.

It's how we stay 

connected forever

sharing a love that nothing can sever.

A Poem for my Grandchild: January 31, 2014

You will be cherished

by two loving parents

and by your grandmother, Dana.

You are lucky

having these parents

because they have known

for a long time

that they wanted you.

Maybe even before they

met one another.

Love begets love,

so rest assured

it will always be there
for you.

It was present

before you were even

conceived,

and while you

were developing

in your mother's womb.

I send out this love

to you now

and always.

Be well,
little one.

Grow and develop
and be safe in the
protective home
that surrounds you 
now, as you prepare
for your arrival.
