Grandbaby, grandbaby so precious are you
So trusting and loving and cute
Your cuddles surround me
With blessings of love
No conditions, no hesitations
You reach out and touch my heart
My dear grand daughter, little Sally Sue!

Grandson, my grandson, so precious are you
So special and caring and true
Your imaginings astound me
With blessings of love
So eager, so open, so keen
Everything connects in your fantasy
My dear, all boy, grandson, Luc!

Grandchildren, grandchildren such a blessing you are
So wonderful and full of joy
You've chosen a family who love you so
So precious this unit complete
Filled with laughter and hugs
With caring and sharing and giving
A blessing true blessing, This Family!

As I hold you in my arms for the first time,
I look down at your innocent face and tell you,
"I am your Grandma" and I tell you what good friends we'll become.

I promise you that My Heart will Always be a safe haven
where my Love for you will know no obstacles.

I will ALWAYS have Faith In You and Believe in You.
My Home will Always Be Your Home.

YOU ARE MY SECOND CHANCE, Sweet Innocent baby.
My Second chance to bake cookies, and watch the
sparkling anticipation in your eyes.
My Second chance to sit and rock a baby to sleep in
my arms, experiencing the tiny heart beating next to mine
as you rest upon my chest.

My Second chance to experience the wonder
of a child discovering he can walk and blow
dandelions into the sky. A Second chance to view
the world through the innocence of a child's heart.
AND THIS TIME, there will be NO Rushing to keep
schedules and Clean the house.
You have the Advantage of My Years and having gained
the wisdom of knowing what's Really Important in Life.

You have the Advantage that I know my place in the world
and that a few cobwebs Don't really matter.
As the Poem goes, You have the Advantage that
I Now know that Babies Don't Keep.

I Promise to the a child with you when you need me
to be and a source of strength when that's what you need from me.

I Promise that you will hear more YES' from me and fewer
No's, BUT I will always honor and respect the place of your
mother and father, into who's care, God has placed you.
I will
Never try to outshine them or diminish their role in your life.
For as Much as I Love You, They Love You More.
We'll grow old together... I'll Just get there a
little sooner. And someday, when I'm gone,
You'll look back upon all the Times we Shared
and you'll Smile. The word "Grandmother"
Will ALWAYS hold a special place in your heart,
just as YOU have Always held one in mine.

A little child enters this illusion
Knowing they are blessed, knowing they are loved
Knowing they are magnificent
Just exactly as they are
There is no question of their worth
There is no fear or inhibition
Until
Crossing paths with those who came before
Hindered by their own self doubt
Living in the mind space of created illusion
Analyzing every step they take
Fearing they may err along the way
Losing love that was not earned
They replay memories.
The child grows and mimics learned reactions
Becoming more timid, insecure
They soon slow down the eagerness of their journey
No longer skipping freely down the path
Of life's illusion
Beginning to build memories of their own
No longer living their reality
Until
Life's path opens up the magic doorway
Where discovery reaches out to touch their heart
Knowing this human journey's an illusion
Played by minds delusion
Layers begin to fall away
And the 'child' in them rebirths
Imagine, just imagine
Knowing the joy, the love,
Coming as a playful child
In eagerness and trust
Open to true reality, shattered illusions
Profound bliss.

Be the child you created long before you were!

In Honour of Kris - December 18th, 2007

In times like this
I lift you up with caring and concern
The comfort of a Mother's love
In your sorrow and your pain
Know that I am here for you
Whatever your need may be.

May you be wrapped in the arms of Source
Assured there is no ending
We are eternal beings on this human journey
And when our time here has ended
Our spirit soars
As it leaves the pain wracked human body
To become whole and free once more
Returning to Source from whence it came
Rejoicing in the return to Home
Though regretting the sadness of family left.

She will always be around you
And watch over you with Love
In this early moments of her passing
Though it is difficult to see, I know
I pray that you and your family

Hello there, my little sweetheart
Do you know "I Love You"?
You, my dear one have been ever so patient
While I went about my life
Doing instead of Being
You so wisely and quietly waited
For us to be together.

Then at last I noticed you
I heard your ever so quiet voice
Will you come out and play with me?
Do you have time today?
Can we go skipping down the lane?
Can we share some time?
For us to be together.

So sweet a smile, eyes so vibrant and free
How could anyone resist you
I'm sorry my dear
Please forgive me," I said
Take my hand and we will run
And play and sing and have some fun
For us to be together.

Have I told you that I love you
I'm so grateful that you're here
Thank You" for reminding me
What's really real my dear.
I promise to remember to set time aside each day
For what really matters most
for us to be together.
