Grandma's Arms

This is my beautiful niece, Emily, in a rare moment of stillness.





Grandma's Arms

Asleep
in Grandma's arms
Not quite an angel,
though she twinkles
with charm

Golden eyes
for a moment
in time
dreaming
of heavenly music
divine

If you listen
very closely
you may hear
the chiming echo
of her laughter
in your ear

Happy Birthday, Emily

Love Always,
