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

Selma, what an exquisite poem! I am jealous! I have 3 children, but may never have grandchildren.
Congratulations, Selma! What a beautiful blessing.
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.
I get that feeling, being a grandparent is the best.
