They Sparkled Joy
they were not just grandparents
they were not just movers and shakers
they were exuberant, enthusiastic
and they knew how to sparkle with joy
I was lucky to have them

Talking To the Stars
The dawn fall off, night sky arose, I looked up in charm,
Letting my feelings stir up, feeling some warmth in my heart.
"It does feel fascinating up there, getting a glimpse of the world,
Knowing it wouldn't hurt to stay like this forever, doesn't it?"
Little do I know, the star in my gaze got a little sparkled,
Within

Her First Diamond Sparkled Her Seconds Gonna Shine
Id like to think what she writes
Is somehow meant for me

For when the time is right
Her first diamond sparkled
Her second’s gonna shine
The gifts that we’re both grateful for
Are part of

My Tummy Sparkled

Sweet laughter, songs, and merriment combined.
My heart has ached to breathe her rich perfumes;

Her Eyes Sparkled
Her eyes were wide
With joy and love
Nothing filled the heart
Like a little love
Her eyes sparkled
With every breath
Her telling tale
Of the Baby within
Her eyes dimmed
When things turned in
From spots and dots
She didn't think a thing
Her eyes were prickled
As she sprinkled a life
So small on the floor
near the toilet so small
Her eyes flooded holding
Him so near
Her heart
