"my Ashley"

Her Mom named her Ashley but I call her Pootie.
Because in my eyes she's a real cutie.

When she was born I looked into her eyes.
I said she's a beauty and then started to cry.

She was my first before all the rest.
Ashley tries her hardest to be the best.

Grandkids are great I have 9 in all 7 boys,3 girls.
Being a grandma is the best thing in the world.

My love for her will always grow.
That's one thing she'll always know.

A granddaughter as wonderful as she can be.
I wish everyone could see what a wonderful
         grandaughter she is to me.

Oh Ashley,Oh Ashley from the very start.
You will always stay deep in my heart.

                   Teresa Skyles
This poem was wrote for my first grandbaby Ashley
Who has made my poetry important to her as it is to me.

Grand children are the greatest. I have a granddaughter myself, first one that arrived, was Heavenly Lieght, the one I wrote about in my poem on soup. "My Heavenly Granddaughter" She is eleven now, but still sits in my lap drawing the love sap.Thanks for your comments, don't worry about writting too long comments, I understand. God bless you, I will pray, and maybe God will reverse this condition. Sincerely, Love, Moses
