Heaven On Earth

Four and a half year old grandson
Climbs up my legs
Into my lap.
Lies down on me like a weighted blanket.
Arms around my neck.
I feel his heart beat.
Heaven on Earth

I couldn't agree more Caren. Those blissful moments fade too fast as they grow at warp speed. I miss those baby days. Beautiful! ; ) xxoo
