Simply Sunday on a Tuesday?

On By Piano girl

I wrote the following poem in a recent poetry circle with Ali Grimshaw. https://flashlightbatteries.blog/ I had planned to share it on Sunday, but a not-so-fun bug made its way through our house and left me zapped. So, Tuesday it is! 😉

Best Baby Life

Your world is growing
So quickly, I can barely keep up
Sweet sleep became
First smiles became
Babbles and the beginnings of words-
Simply sitting on the floor
Watching as you explore
Affords a new kind of joy-
Goodbyes are difficult
They make me sad
Afraid I’m placing
Too much pressure on you
Until I realize you are
Living your best baby life
Reaching, learning, growing
And I am part of your journey
Just as you are part of mine

  3. “Living your best baby life”. I’m so glad to be part of the journey. She’s darling, Kelley. Your words will be a treasure to her! I traveled north this past weekend and visited my youngest granddaughter ~what a gift to read your poem. I’m happy you’re feeling better. 💛

      1. It’s my blessing, sweet friend. It was such a wonderful time. It is a gift for sure. Today I had my PET scan and am optimistic! I’ll have another weekend of great memories before treatments next week. I won’t take a day for granted, dear friend. I know you don’t either. Love, Karla 🎶💛🙏🏻💕
