May your dreams nourish your soul this night
for you, my little one
are my teacher
your fingers point the way
your lively steps lead where I may follow
your outstretched arms embrace your world
your eyes are my mirror
within your innocence, I am reflected
through your eyes, I encounter the universe
together we may walk
hand in hand, through time
together we are one
for you are my teacher
my little one.
(dedicated to my granddaughter, Rose

This is beautiful Margie!! We learn from children every bit as much (and maybe more) than they learn from us, don't we?
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Keith.
DeleteI think children teach us so much, especially about 'the joy of life'
Rose has such a vigor and joy of life, it's truly contagious!
Gorgeous, and so true!
ReplyDeleteMany thanks, Janet
Deletei can think of few better teachers than a child...smiles...they will wear you out...but they def will teach you...smiles....see the magic...
ReplyDeleteBrian,
DeleteOh, Rose has totally worn me out but it's pure bliss to be around her.

children are angels......so innocent..we should .learn so much from them...beautiful as always Margie...
ReplyDeleteshe is so cute.. :-)
Hi Athira
DeleteThanks for the kind words.
All children are angels and it makes me sad to see so many of them that grow up to be such troubled beings, something about the world and those in their world change them.
Rose is the cutest ...
I adore her :)
This indeed touches the very pulse of one's heart. So loving and gracious are your words... the JOY of BEING is made known. Thank You dear Margie.
ReplyDeleteSo very kind you are dear Rose Marie .... thanks so much for the lovely comment.
DeleteMargie, this is fantastic, I love it... and the photo is priceless and goes perfectly!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Linda,
DeleteI appreciate your visit and comment.
Have a wonderful weekend.

How sweet this is! The poem is magical and the photo so cute. What wonderful memories and feelings you have saved for Rose in this. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLisa,
DeleteYour kind words brought a smile to my face, thanks very much.
I am making a scrapbook for Rose with the poems I have written for her, it's such a joyful experience for me to do so.
Beautiful, thoughtful poem and one of the finest photos I've ever seen. Brava, bravo to you both.
ReplyDeleteThanks kind Geo.
DeleteYour comment brought me joy.
Awwww....how sweet this is! And I love the photo. There is so much childhood joy in it!
ReplyDeleteThanks Martha for the kind words,
DeleteThis is one of my most favorite photos of Rose.
As she should be how magnificent, all the joy within, that little person, with such a enthusiasm for life, so little, magical...I know what influence she's had in her life, the confidence she has now won' t go away, she owes it to many things but mostly to the person who's kept her the most, oh angel, you made her a little adventuress to behold, now you rest , love, xxx,me
ReplyDeleteLorraine,
DeleteEvery moment I have spent with Rose has been such a gift to me, I cannot begin to tell you of the joy she brings to my life.
I know we are the best of friends as she tells me so.
Your kind words mean so much!
Thank you.

Hi Margie! What a beautiful way to see your grandchild...as your teacher. I guess they really are. I just spent last weekend with my two year old granddaughter, and she has a huge thing for flowers these days. What fun to see her pick out just the right one...and then fling it away, so she can find the next one.
ReplyDeleteNot sure what I should learn from that, but it's so fun to see what engages her mind. Your Rose is one blessed little girl to have you!

Hello Ceil
DeleteYour granddaughter sounds so precious as my little Rose is.
I always enjoy your comments and visits , thank you so much.
As always, Margie, beautiful thoughts and words. You write the words I feel. Granddaughters teach you different things as they grow, and they tug at your heart in different ways. But, no matter the age, the holding your hand, the hug, the kiss, the "I love you, Grammy', are precious.
ReplyDeleteHi Bonnie
DeleteAs grandmothers we are both very blessed.
Your lovely comment made me feel joy.
Thank you, dear Bonnie.

This is so lovely and true, Margie. Children are our teachers. I learned so much from my students. I just hope they did too!!
