Thoughts from a GrandMa's Heart

A grandkid's hug makes you feel worthwhile

You loose the blues and begin to smile.

You hear the voice say, "I love you"

and you quickly answer, "I love you, too."

Yes, those little arms are very dear;

they pep you up and bring you cheer!

Days

If you want a life with sunlight

Then you'll have to make it shine.

It's how you look at what you are

That makes your days and mine!

It's true some days can cast a shade:

But shade is not all bad,

for there we think and understand

and reflect on what we've had.

The days can come and soon be gone:

You're breathless from the pace,

And feel a sense of joy - or pain

as though you've run a race!

We stand in awe of slow, slow, days.

We may savor their every hour.

But each day is precious beyond our words,

and filled with immeasurable power!
