Hugs

There is no hint, or clue This sweet child of two Could ever comprehend this hug, and how it heals all the wrongs the world has known how it takes me to moon, gives me hope when I am blue. With his unknowing, smiling face, A cowlick in his hair, freckles here and there Who takes the air from my lungs with a glance Skin glistening, pink and rosy from the sun, As he comes bounding through the door, Mud on his small shoes and face Without an inkling or a trace.. No idea of how the pace of my heart bursts, in the wake of emotions I feel The way that my arms would wrap around His small body so tightly, that he would gasp. This well of love that I can't express.... But of course, I don't squeeze so tightly. I must hold my love for him With more restraint, Keep my arms encircled in a more gentle embrace, For he wouldn't understand how much love His sweet presence stirs up the air I breathe This child, this precious son of my daughter Will never know....the joy... how this one little boy has made my life complete .... for Skat's contest: Hugs

Thank you Carrie, for the nice comment and suggestion on my Feline Alert poem... I posted a nice poem called "The Swan." I hope you like that one. It's a very special poem, simple too... hardly any metaphors. LOL, hope you enjoy the poem this morning... always Linda

Oh Carrie - I cry so at this endearing profession of love that a grandma's (and a mother's) heart can hold. So many lines of emotional ardor "Who takes the air from my lungs with a glance." I must send it to my daughter (OK?) and she will cry with joy as well. love, Kathy Thank you for expressing so clearly what I cannot.
