For my grandchild on Valentines day
When saw you the first time, I was moved beyond Words.
My breath caught in my chest,
My heart skipped,
And you opened your eyes.
When I saw you a second time, I shouted for Joy.
I could not contain my breath,
My heart leapt,
And you smiled at your achievement.
When I saw you a third time, I laughed out Loud.
My breath was a gasp,
My heart racing,
And you repeated your performance just for me.
When I saw you a fourth time, I was Amazed,
My breath was swept away,
My heart stopped,
As you transformed into the person I fell in love with so many years before.
When the world saw you, I helped you to Go.
My breath caught in my chest,
My heart skipped,
As you opened your wings.
Watching my grandchildren grow is a blessed opportunity for me. I have jokingly called my twelve-year-old grandson my fifth child. As he continues to see the world and mature, I am so grateful to be able to have had so much time with him, and now that my granddaughters are growing up as well, I am doubly blessed to spend days watching them twirl in tutus and crowns, put on rock star concerts, and accomplish everything from drawing the perfect Rainbow to perfecting their backfloat.
Today, as you celebrate the love you have for your husband, boyfriend, friends, children, and grandchildren, I hope you get a moment to hug, kiss, and express your love everyone who is important to you.
