Notes About The Poem

My Granddaughter

My sweet girl, 
    you are my butterfly 
       that flutters with grace, 
          under the golden sunshine; 
  as zephyr breath blows 
    you from one petal to the next,
       slowly through pinnate leaves.

  You are my sunshine that blooms my life.
 
  Love you my special girl

She has always wanted me close to her, but she is turned an age that life is getting so busy for her... Out of the blue she'll text and tells me she loves me or if I come around, I get the biggest hugs .. she makes me feel that I need to keep living , just like my 3 year old grandson. :) Being a grandma is awesome.

Pangie, my baby girl just turned 16 the 9th of this month and she is just beautiful. She is also a softball player, and she is already being scouted by colleges. Come back and I'll post her recent high school softball picture. Yes, my sons and grandchildren are the world to me. I babysit the youngest one on weekends because my son works 6 days a week.
