Premium Member And So
And so my brain prepared itself for a memory. It knows how to now. Instead of waiting for damage to remember along the lines, it just warned. It warned of what was soon to come. Death. Of a grandparent. Of a piece of gold embroidered into my veins. A piece of gold that illuminates when the sight of its forebears struck their...

Being a Grandparent
Explaining grandkids to your friends Who have none is, I find, Like trying to describe chartreuse To someone who is blind. For your grandkids bring out feelings That nobody else can match, Laying bare an itch you never knew You had, but now can scratch. As a parent, you experience The fiercest love and pride Intertwined with the anxiety That childhood does provide. Though when one becomes...

Sunshine smiles of my inner soul warming me in gentle, loving ways I relish your vitamin D, Girlfriend. Gracing my skin in a motherly way Making me aware of my internal sisterhood connection With my great-grandparents and my great-grandchildren Connecting us as nothing else could. Encouraging my cell soul connections Feeling the Son in her warmth. The Sun reminding me of THE Son...

Premium Member Watch Children Laugh
With an open heart and a loving mind Affection flowing from my grateful pores, The sight that so beautifully spends my time, Children laughing and playing out of doors. Here I sit soaking in adoring sun, Children playing silly games in my drive, Having a world of good, clean fun Innocent hopefulness is so alive, Loving my catbird seat, watching them play. Dashing and...

Premium Member Newborns Versus Babies
The babies are so much fun, So cuddly and warm, So snuggly, and wonderful, So ugly when first born. The babies are so loved, So cherished, so alive! But the newborns, with their cat-cries, Are so annoying when they cry. Yes, I will babysit your baby. And we can play and sing and laugh. I will give her and him both bottles, But if it is...

Premium Member Twinkle Twinkle Little
twinkle twinkle little.... The four-year-old is silent suddenly. He gives me his most mischievous sideways smile and grin. He watches me carefully, studying my face for nuances I hope are not there. As he looks at me, I realize once again that he is looking at me exactly the way my father used to look at...

Premium Member Grandparent Love
We were visiting our granddaughter…it was nearing her 12th birthday when we asked her what she wanted…but she was hesitant to say. After a little coaxing on our part we finally got her to say… what she wanted was a birthday visit from…who else…Beyonce. As her grandparents we immediately decided that we had to do everything within our power...

Premium Member His Smell
It was a smell I was familiar with, His smell. But he had been gone for almost eight years, And I had come to terms with it. Or so I thought Until I smelled his smell. Then it was a whole new ballgame. Do not expect people to get over a death right away, Don’t expect them to ever get over it. When...

Premium Member I Laugh When I'M Nervous
It was with a heavy heart I left the house, choosing no make-up in anticipation of the tears I might cry. Being faithfully spiritual, I know the only death is to the body, not to the soul, but this is a child’s funeral. Even if he is reincarnated, it will not be exactly the same child. ...

Premium Member Grandparent Hood
G-rand someone whose old but yet young, leading the youth with wisdom; R-ossting royal comings to be completely bald, yet teaching the truth never fail; A-ppraisals and appearances up keep while rallying children get off the streets; N-ews today and days to sweep, remembering history and history feats; D-oing most things for others not selfish relentless gathering family reunions;...

Premium Member Being a Grandparent Makes Me Happy
Though I can't give a full account of all the Lord has given me, I can say that my list begins with life, His love, and family. I have a daughter, son-in-law, two grandkids, and fulfilling days. While parents work, I'm with the kids, a girl and boy I love to praise. I claim this opportunity to show them honor with an ode. I'm gratetul...

Reflections From a Grandparent
Today I did something I had never done before... I took a good look at the face of my grandchild and yearned for more. Fearfully and wonderfully made was that child on my arm..., But I am fearful because I know that his enemy wants to bring him harm. So I bless this child and pray for him every...
