The anxiety runs rampant through my body

For it has been a long time between visits

My biggest fear is fear itself

But I truly want her approval of me

She has grown in the house of the Lord

I have not always been there

Even today as a born again christian I do not attend

Jesus said you should be home praying

In my case it is always being alone and praying

But she has been a church goers since she was an infant

Now the fear of fears rejection, rears the ugly thoughts

My mind has been conjuring many horrific situations

Will she even know me

Will she smile at me

Will she kiss me on my cheek

Will she just touch me

These are questions that fester in my brainless mind
I love her very much, and I am very proud of her

For she is my one and only Grand Child, Valerie
