Dear Carolyn - I loved this one too. Great creative photo with both grandma and child in it. Your words are simple and yet powerful as they are filled with love.
Nicely penned and great poem for your collection in April.
Thanks for sharing it.
Love
Maureen

Every grandma's dream made manifest in her arms, the birth of the child and, as suggested by your great photo, the birth of a grandma.

Grandma's dream
in her arms today
Newborn child
The syllable count is consistent with that of the 3-5-3 format. Good complimentary photo. Clear message that is short, simple and heart touching.

So tender this piece. I reflect on the birth of my own children and the love written all over my mother's face as she held each one.
Great job!

Carolyn, this is such a tender write that celebrates this very special kind of love. Perfect syllable and line count with the ah-ha moment at the end. :0 GracieAnn

What a picture! And it's looks as if it's raining too.
Nice to think of a dream being alive and having weight.
Even nicer since she can pick and choose when to see her. :-)
