INTO EACH LIFE SUNSHINE MUST FALL

My FIRST Great-Grandchild, nearly two but not "terrible" is such a beautifully-made boy. He owns two marvelous parents. And I am SO proud. I met him on my first scooter trip in August 2009...and we WILL meet again!



 WE NEVER KNOW


Two years a resident.
One day a President?
Whether what or who--
Peeps will say, "We knew
Him WHEN...
But then,
Never theorized
Never realized
The mark each leaves
On world's Peeps.”

God and a mother know
At birth
The worth
Of that life, that soul,


Whether he'll be tall or small.
Only God, Who knows all
Is able to hold him high or
Pick him up from a fall


please Bless him and all babes
Anywhere--everywhere.
Those here, and over there


--Amen

  8. Great tribute. Once he is old enough to read he will even more appreciate his great grandfather's love for him.

  9. Beautiful poem gift for something as rare as a great grandchild.
    Most of all I love your prayer.
    Nothing made me so happy, as when I realized; prayers don't expire on date.

    PEACE!

    FELISOL:
    Fel, thank you. I did not realize the ending was a prayer until YOU pointed it out, but I see you're right.
    To me, it was just 'talking to God' words--and ya know what? That just MIGHT be what is PRAYER! grin!

    I'm commenting YOU first, because what you have written here is SUCH a beautiful story...it would be worthy of a blog post any time! Thank you for putting it down right here...and PEACE!

    HEAVEN:
    They ARE the future...and sometimes I look at a young child and realize sh/he will probably live to age 125 or more, . What MARVELOUS happenings they will witness, of which we cannot even DREAM!
    Peace!

    LINDA, LINDA:

  17. Oh, my goodness!!! He is adorable! It's like I just want to eat him up and he would melt in my mouth, lol! And I LOVE your poem, Steve. I think this one is my favorite. This one and the bench. So...when are you going to compile your poetry into a book? Hmmm....?

    Thanks for the vote, by the way!!!!! :D

    Thank you so much, friend!

    MINING FOR DIAMONDS:
    Kimberly! I have to remember to stuff the ballot box again Sunday. Thank you for your kind words--very supportive! N O B O O K !!!! (I would not know where to begin. Then to have to pay to have my own words written back at me--I don't think so...) But I can offer PEACE! Because I have that!!!

    Claudia:
    Oh I am always happy to see you visiting my place, German-Girl! Poet Extraordinaire! Wonderful Peep!
    PEACE!

    CATFISH TALES:
    I've ALWAYS respected Peeps who "double-dip" (I'm one of them--grin!) It means to a writer that they really care about what is written...one other Peep's thoughts, dreams, feelings, beliefs. Would that our world were FULL of Peeps like you, Shers!
