An observation of the beautiful interaction between my little Grandaughters.
"Bella
Bella,
Bella."
Her small figure bends
to whisper loving little
words of comfort.
The wet baby face before her
lights up with a beam so beautiful
hearts would leap on sight!
Chubby hands pressed on infant knees,
she tenderly places her face and tousled chestnut curls onto the
tender cheek of her tiny sister.
A bond so precious to behold.
Two little Angels head to head.
I want to freeze the moment;
For them, for my daughter, for me,
Like a rippling wave
caught carelessly on still camera,
Unique, unchanging, Timeless.
To protect their innocence, their frailty
and utter vulnerability in an uncertain
and ever-changing world.
To hold them all tightly in my arms
and infuse them with the Healing power
of my fierce undying Mother-Love.
"Bella,
Bella,
Bella."
A lyrical, lilting lullaby,
Love immortalised
and given so freely, so lovingly,
so gently,
From one,
who is not yet
I HAVE A TEENAGE GRANDAUGHTER WHOSE NAME IS BELLA AND SHE HAS A TWO YEAR OLD BABY BROTHER. THOUGH I AM NOT THERE TO WITNESS IT...I CAN IMAGINE THE BOND BETWEEN THEM IS SWEET AND BEAUTIFULLY INNOCENT...AS THE LOVE BETWEEN SIBLINGS IS. THANKS FOR THIS LOVELY REMINDER. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...HIS+INSPIRATIONS

DEAR Diana: I must tell you I've just had this BEAUTIFUL, STUNNING, MOVING, GORGEOUS poem read out loud to me via Skype from our mutual friend the lovely and amazing Val Jenkins. It gave me complete goose bumps and has touched me more than any poem has ever done. She's read me more also and i can't wait to comment on those and read any she didn't have that you have posted here. You are SO gifted!!! Bravo!!! Amazing!!
Fondly,

Oh my goodness!!! Diana, your poems are so expressive in feelings. I think you write like the way I do - with genuine feelings!...and believe me - poems with genuine feelings are what I like to read most!!!
This one expresses so well that I could feel the joy and love in your words. Well-done indeed!!!
I'm so fortunate to have had the opportunity to read "Bella." What a lovely name for a child, and from your precise description of her, she must be beautiful and precious indeed. The feelings and love you have expressed herein drive home the affection I have in my own heart for my two grandsons, Andrew and Tanner. Sometimes I think we love our grandchildren more than we do our own children, or is it just that we treasure these valuable moments within us the second time around all the more? I don't know. Like you, I have wanted, many times, to "freeze the moment," over the past twelve and nine years, but since that is not the natural progression of events in life, I am forced to accept what is and must be. Thank you for the beauty you have presented through this fine piece.
Diana, I just love this poem. You can feel your love through your words. I am soon to be a grandmother to my son's son. (we know what his wife is having already) I cannot wait it is going to change my life, I can feel it.
Thank you for sharing a piece of your heaven on earth, your Bella s,
Peace, love, and light,

Vivid imagery, nostalgia for innocence lost and tender wishes for innocence to remain...sweet and sad words for a touching moment. You've immortalized their love very beautifully :)
Lovely! Lovely! Lovely. Verses fit for the angels they are meant for; beautiful gift shared, Diana. Amor y paz con buena suerte en todo with my best wishes too,
*sighs beautiful purity of these babies, how precious they are together, you've penned the moment well...i thought of my passed on friend Nina, her husband called her Bella Luna (see my story Nina's Funeral, I think you'll appreciate)
Donkey-Donk has moved to a new farm, and as much as she tries, she just can't find a job she can do. Includes over 20 adorable photos of Donk trying her best...
