Pictures In My Mind

Pictures in My MInd My granddaughter sits tall in the saddle on a white horse she calls Shadow My grandson struggles to ride his bike the first time with out trainers Three year old James flies by on his skooter saying watch maw maw what I can do These are pictures in my mind. Their mom watches proudly as her children grow Blonde haired just like his mom Grady James looks just like she did at age two Now she is all a glow pregnant with her second My hubby and I sit in our rockers on the deck watching the grandchildren play One chasing a paper airplane, one catching a ball the other dancing with a hoola hoop. More beautiful pictures in my mind. A redbird sits on a fence post a worm dangling from his beak I see a yellow and black butterfly trying to land on a bush in the wind These pictures i hold dear in my mind for you see blindness has taken my eyes These are the picutures only in my mind. As they grow through the years they will always look this way to me happy and carefree and proud in my mind.
