Little Man Grown 8/18/2023 Thirteen years ago, he picked up a bat! In love, he knew where his future was at. In Major League Baseball, you get it? Six-feet, tall now, he can really, hit it! But this Grandma, misses her little tyke, Who rode a tricycle and flew a silver kite. He’ s a player on junior varsity these days. And in other states, baseball with joy, plays!

Hello! I remember tthe early years and I really cherish all those moments. They are like blessings from God! I am an emotional poet, not an intellectual, I just triy my best to be honest of the page. You’ll never find me using highly intellectual words to impress anyone in comments or in poetry. Many poets do that wlell,I am quite ordinary.. But I do take on subjects that poets run from, too. There is NO reason to rin from reality. We do not live in the stars, but on the planet earth. I am so grateful to watch my grandson bloom like a flower and reach his goals. An outstanding, compassionate young man,who is a head above the rest. And sweet as honey. Thank you for reading this. Pangie

Hi Elena.. You know this was a poem close to my heart. I prefer my personal life rather than nature stuff which other poets are fantastic at. Not ne.and I am not a hotshot.at having people rolling in the aisles either. . Poetry from me, is my heart beating the rhthyms of my soul. Thank you much, Pangie

This is lovingly penned with such obvious fond memories. Wouldn't it be something to have found a poem in our own grandparent papers about ourselves! Hopefully as nice as this one, too. No doubt, some probably have them now.

What a unique response, David,..Family counts most to me and is apparent in my poems. As oare love relationships. It would be something if our grandparents wrote about us. I do have my grandfathers birthday card to me, when I was a year old! I feel a connection to him, whenever I see it!)) he lived with us till he passed at age 85. I was 12. But losing someone I love, devastates me! Pangie.

Hello,!from across the pond, Tom! Yes, you have known Eddie fir five years. He is actually 6 feet and two inches! Standing next to him, for-me, who is a wee bit of humanity, is like looking up at the Eiffel Tower)) Pangie. Academically, he’s in honors classes!

Pangie, such a sweet write about your grandson! I wish time could slow down some. My boys are both grown and have kids and now their kids are getting older. I miss the days of their childhood. Blessings, Kim M

Ah, Kim, time does not conform to grandma’s love and wishes, does it? I think you are very, very fortunate to see to see all those generations. And I know you know the joy and experience that sweet loss of their younger days. That’s the joy and sweet sorrow of being a grandmother. Thanks+ Pangie

Hi Kim! You got that right. I am proud of Eddie. Honor rroll, a great son and grandson. Wants no part of cancel culture(should be re-named, cruel culture!) He complains not enough Bible taught in school,too). I have written about him often here. He wants a Christian University only. I hope he gets that and gets into the Minor Leagues. My daughter and son in law did a great job raising him.. one grateful Nana,me! Thanks for commenting. Pangie
