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.
