eyes, the black of night cedars
mirror a galaxy of stars
silky-smooth skin,
velvety soft
breath, an evening primrose
rivals an intoxicating head
grandbabe of mine, I love you
at any cost

Beautiful. I’m to be a grandma soon too, in March. First timer and feeling like only just raised my own kids and now here they come, the grandkids – but I’m excited as everyone tells me that knows, grandkids are amazing.
Hi Kate. Oh my. You’ll soon find out. This is a first for us too. Maybe later we can share notes 🎶 🤣
I’m a few months ahead of you in this. But I can assure you, It’s everything they say it is. Enjoy it. Will be thinking of you. Praying for a safe delivery.
I get that feeling, being a grandparent is the best.
It’s the best.
Congratulations, Dear Selma! This is a beautiful poem and ode to your gorgeous grandbaby! I’m so happy for you! Enjoy every touch, smell, smile and heart opening moments. I know you are! 💗
I am indeed.
A secret: They left on Sunday. I still cannot get myself to wash one blanket that smells like her. Perhaps I’ll never wash it 🤫
Top secret. Don’t tell anyone. Yes, I’m that weird.
This is lovely Selma. (K)
Aww, K. Thanks for saying.
Beautiful! 💗
