Love Arrives On Bluebird Wings

Love arrives on bluebird wings
          Butterflies, strings, myriads of things,
                    She discovers with rapt fascination
                              A new world dizzy with animation.
Each day she learns as she grows
          She began by fondling her little toes
                    Expanding her experiences bit by bit
                              From her big brother she learned to spit.
And before I knew it, she went away
          I knew it would happen … her wedding day
                    Now, the grandchildren are coming to visit,
                              And I am learning the meaning of exquisite.
I’ll always cherish the memory, my heart sings,
          Remembering how love arrived on bluebird wings.
