Zack

 

He cocks his head to one side,

Blonde curls going every which way.

He smiles a crooked smile,

His blue eyes dampening with a twinkle.

And he melts this grandma’s heart.

 

Then he reaches tiny, chubby fingers,

Up to me, so I reach for him,

In my arms he is soft and squishy,

As he wraps his little boy love,

Around my neck and throughout my soul.

Karen, I know exactly how you feel, your poem just put me in the mood to go visit my baby grandson. I have been sick for a week and haven't been able to see him. (didn't want to give him any germs) It is killing me and now after reading your poem you really made me start craving my grandson even more!...Lovely poetry!
Many blessing to him and you and your family,
Peace, love, and light,

Many many years ago I had the fortune to have a little boy grandchild sitting on my lap and looking at grandpa with questioning eyes. That moment never went away!

Precious time well spent, Karen. A cherished scrapbook moment in which this poetry would do well to accompany Zack's scrapbook family album...show it to him when he's sixteen...be well.
