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
Amen, and poem is BEAUTIFUL .You are bless Steve :)Your grand son is so adorable,mash Allah.

MARGIE:
Ya know, I believe all one has to do is put up a photo of a 'pretty baby' and comment s will flow in. (Build it and they will come???)--grin!
Great tribute. Once he is old enough to read he will even more appreciate his great grandfather's love for him.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful poem gift for something as rare as a great grandchild.
ReplyDeleteMost of all I love your prayer.
Nothing made me so happy, as when I realized; prayers don't expire on date.
MONKEY MAN:
ReplyDeleteYou, Sir, have a real heart--it is great to know you.
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!

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!

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

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!
AMEN
ReplyDeleteThe poem is a beautiful tribute, it sings!
.. the poem gives pleasure to your great-grandchildren when he is great ... it's a poem for all the grandchildren ... thanks Steve ... blessings you and your family ...
ReplyDelete... I came back today from visiting my youngest grandchild ... almost 3 months, and so sweet ... but great-grandchildren I have not ... my oldest grandson (24) is still under study ... no time for family ...
Greetings from Cosima
JESSIE:
ReplyDeleteOne other wrote to me it sounded like a song--I'll think about that, maybe play it on a Charleston Friday evening in September...dreamimg--grin!
