Alligator encounter!

I saw you today for the first time. I caught my breath as I watched you swim so close by. The water flowing off your back and your eyes glistening in the sun. You swim on past me in my boat as I continue to watch in total amazement, excited to be so close to you. Your eyes twinkle as you swim on to the shore and you gracefully glide out of the water onto the muddy bank to your favorite log. There you will lay in the sun to dry for a while. So I move on down the Pearle River out of your view. Thankful for our brief encounter.

Grandchild!

The first time I saw you, I could hold you in my two hands. You with tiny fingers and toes, perfect in every way. You looked at me with wonder in your brown eyes. I think for a moment I saw a small grin as your thumb found your mouth. Mom took you home and you grew so fast it seemed. From bottles and diapers to taking your first steps to Nana's arms.
Years of learning and growing now in school and almost a teenager. Big enough to borrow my cloths. We chat about everything, laugh and play games. I watch you practice being a cheerleader , and now your busy with band, ballgames and friends. With so much more to come, Soon you will be grown. My grandchild your my past and my future!

Missing You!

Longing for your touch on my skin, feeling of desolation without you again.
Wanting the feel of your body so close its touching mine.
The sweet taste of your kiss on my lips was so devine.
I can still smell your cologne even tho' your gone.
Come back, come back my love, for I'm lonely and all alone.
