A Love Poem for Owen

nothing
makes me
smile
like receiving
a new group
of photos
of you.

as i glimpse
at each
picture
over and over
again,
it feels like
i am receiving
an
endless gift
of love.

you are growing
so quickly...
sometimes
i fear
that without seeing
updated photos
of you
i may not recognize
the little boy
who
was just a baby
seven short months ago.

but...
one look
at your sweet face
with those
big, beautiful eyes
and
i see
the wonder
of the world
reflected there
as
your gentle soul
comes shining through...

and
then
i realize
that
even without
the photos
your beautiful face
is
already
imprinted on my
heart
forever.....

missing and loving you, grammie

I love receiving pictures also, I am quite aways away from my Grandkids, so I usually only see them once a year. If it weren't for pictures and phone calls it would sure be hard, wouldn't it.
