We may not be able to do the same things we used to do but, as you say so well,we still have lots of love to share. Beautifully written Debi and a lovely photo.
Cheers

Your image is very cleverly done. I understand well the words you wrote and feel the same. It's a wonderful thing not only to be a parent but a grandparent, and their love is beyond price.

This is a sweet poem, and your love for children shines through your words. I love your artwork, and it's fun to see how each child has grown in the past seven years. Your rhymes are good, and the meter is steady. Suggestion: Many non-moms feel (that way).... to even the meter a bit. You've done a lovely job keeping your grandchildren together and making them a part of your life through the years. Blessings. Carol

    Dearest Carol, thanks so much for all your kindness regarding my children's poem. I love your suggestion, but the problem with it is that there are not enough syllables. I wonder if you didn't read the stress sound on the second syllable of my line. I do have to be careful to keep the same syllable count in it. But thanks so much for your suggestion.

    Sorry, I see what you mean about the syllable count. I must have been very tired when i read your poem. Either that or I'm totally losing it! LOL.

I admire your poetic talent and abilities, but have to add you digital technological skills also. I can feel the love for your grands through the words you expressed.

I have no grand children, but during the thirteen years I spent as a preschool teacher, watching children "giggle, laugh, and smile," brought joy to my heart.

May God continue to surround you with their love.

    Dearest Lorraine, thanks so much for all your kindness regarding my children's poem. I am still in second heaven over your poem you did for me for prayers. Because of you, I feel the prayers and I am seeing my doctor tomorrow to do a whole panel of labs to see if my lupus is causing a resistant infection inside me and to see if that is the problem. I appreciate you more than I could ever tell you. I will let you know what they find out.

    Anyway, my passion has always been about children so I thank you for all your considerate words. I appreciate it very much.
    Thanks again, my dear friend. Love, Deb

The author's words are meaningful, descriptive and creative. I pondered
on these words and thought about how much I loved watching my own 2 children growing up and now enjoying my 4 grandchildren! As the author describes well, the love continues to go on and on. The poem flows and
connects well. An Awesome song chosen! The artwork is beautiful and compliments these words.
Hi Debi, hope you are doing well - great poem! Maria

Hi Debi. I love this poem of a mother's love for her children and grandchildren as I feel the same as do most mom's. They are God's blessing for sure. You have a beautiful family. Nice rhyme and meter for a lovely read.

I love how you've taken pictures of your lovely, happy grandchildren 7 years apart, such a short time for us and, yet, a world of difference when growing up. Your love and belief in children throughout your life are celebrated here in this charming verse, accompanied by my all-time favourite Whitney Houston song. An absolute delight! Love Debbie

    Dearest Debbie, I thank you my dear friend, for not only the wonderful review and dear words that you you said to go along with it. You know how much you mean to me.

    You are so wonderfully kind and I appreciate you so very much. The art was a little challenge but lots of fun. Now I use it for my wallpaper on my iPads. Thanks for the awesome six stars too. Thanks again, my very dear friend.
    Love, Debi

Thank you for sharing this wonderful poem with us. I have trouble getting all my grandchildren in one place at the same time. They live so far apart from each other. Only with deaths and things like that are they together. I pray I'll eventually get them together soon. Give each one of them an extra hug from me. Whitney Houston can surely sing. She was one of the greats.

    Dearest Barb, thanks so much for all your kindness regarding my children's poem. Yes, Whitney Houston was wonderful. She is like John Denver, what a waste of great talent.

Anyone who has followed you here on FanStory for more than five minutes (smile) knows that you adore your children and grandchildren. They are very blessed to have you ~ a devoted mom and grandmom who offers love, guidance, laughter, and support whether or not you are able to do the "physical" play you once did.

Your choice of that Whitney Houston song is perfect. I wish all children had the security of warm arms and unconditional acceptance.

Sadly, may do not.

I agree that we should all do as you do -- try to extend our love of "kids" to as many as we can in as many ways that we can!

Five stanzas of AABB rhyme and toe-tapping meter. Keep loving up on them and I know they return the same to you!

    My sweet K, thanks so much for all your kindness regarding my children's poem. That was so sweet of you to say that about being here five minutes to know I love children. True, tho as I have a big mouth and I don't mind shouting my love out loud!!

You are so right, having our children is the greatest joy. My sons have given me so much, I couldn't imagine life without them. And they have given me some wonderful grandchilden. Your poem is beautiful, Debi, as usual, and I really enjoyed it. Well done, my friend. Sandra xxxx
