About Me

My photo
Oklahoma, United States
I'm a retired Mother of three and Memere of five plus the addition of my Great Grandson. Memere is French Canadian for Grammy. Sometimes when I think of that I have to catch my breath. Time moves so quickly and we need to savor every moment in time for we can never go back again...only in our memories. I treasure each and every moment that I get to spend with my family and friends. I have spent a lot of my life singing in church and school choirs. Now that my voice is aging, I just may end up singing Bass. LOL I like reflection and use it a lot in some of the poems I write. I have some amazing friends from all over the U.S. and even in Canada, who have been with me through thick and thin and I would have never made it without them. I belive that God puts people in our lives to be our angels, inspiration, or to teach us something. I support our Military in the fight they are fighting to help keep our country free and protect our freedom. God Bless America, God Bless Us All! I hope that you enjoy reading some of my blogg. Thanks for stopping by. Please leave a comment so I know you have visited. Happy Fall Y'All!

Ten Tiny Fingers and Toes





Ten Tiny Fingers and Toes

A little bit of heaven sent down for me to love.

You were the most beautiful baby a mother could have.

Your soft brown ringlets circling 'round your head.

And such beautiful brown eyes told me you had a bright future ahead.

Ten tiny fingers and toes were ever so sweet,

I can see them ere yet when my memories repeat.

You were my Angel to love and to nurture I knew

But how quickly time passed and you suddenly grew.

Now a fine young woman with your Angel loves you dream

With ten tiny fingers and toes that you have on your team.

How I wish I could go back to those days long ago.
How much I have missed but, how could I have known?
The days pass much to quickly and you're suddenly grown.
