[hometext] => A gift to my children:
AtticusKrazee and Justice 3310 [bodytext] => What gift could I give to my children now grown? No longer babies but living lives of their own. My precious baby boy with a heart eternally young. Could I reach him through lyrics musically sung, or with thoughts written in a melodic rhyme. What could I give to this sweet son of mine. My angelic daughter who blessed me with a grandchild. Tough on the surface but inside so mild. She has come very far in just a short while, blossoming into a woman with her own personal style. Both are so very precious to me. Without them I can't imagine how my life would be. Bittersweet memories of Christmases now past, they grew up just a little too fast. I was not quite ready to let them both go. It was hard not to let the grief show. I sigh as I remember how things use to be, when they woke Christmas morning to gifts beneath the tree. I will wake this Chirstmas morning without them there, knowing it is time that I learned to share. Share my sweet children with loves of their own, as they build lives together in surroundings they call home. With precious partners they chose as future husband and wife. It was time to let go and let them have their own life. It will be different this year as all things must change. Future daughter-inlaw, son-inlaw, and grandchilds gifts to attain. My family has grown but there is room in my heart. My love for my children will never depart. I blink back the tears that well up inside. My empty nest built on the tears I have cried. What can I give my children now grown, as this Chirstimas is different than any I have known.... I give them courage to strive on ahead. Covering them in prayer each night as they retire to bed. I give them hope in doing what they feel is best, in facing lifes trials having been put to test. I give them strength in the fact they have what it takes, to overcome obstacles and learn from their mistakes. But the one gift I give that been there from the start, is they remain forever within the walls of my heart. Unconditional love for a lifetime is what I have to give, to unwrap daily all the days that they live.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
