Dancing ladies color my world
in blushing pink.
I doze in and out where life begins
from inception to the last window of time.
Moving memories in boxes
of cedar chests,
where treasures await
the next generation.
Sleep evades me when love meets hope.
New chapters open to
dog eared pages and those
yet to be written.
The tender grip of a newborns clench,
the frail hands of great grandparents blessings,
bridge distance of young and old.
.
Savored moments ignite joy,
where time stands still
gazing into each others eyes.

Have a wonderful week ahead.
Lots of moving parts here moving my Dad out of his house of 33 years and into a retirement home. Preparing for the next birth and lovely visits with baby C (still no name).
Blessings to you in all you do with love and hands of hope.

An eloquent, exquisitely beautiful reflection about the generations. How wonderful it is to see great-grandchildren! It softens the blows of growing older! You are assisting your parents, children, and now great-grandchildren, Cindy! <3 <3 <3
I’m glad you enjoyed it and yes indeed it does soften the blow. Perfect words to describe it Cheryl. Indeed so true. Thank you very much Cheryl❤️🙏🏼❤️
Beautiful poem Cindy. You’ve connected new life with those already here, young, older and very old.
I’m glad you enjoyed my poem Sadje! That’s how things are rolling at the moment so I’m just taking it one day at a time. Thanks a lot my friend. 💞🙏🏼💕
Take care dear granny 💖💖💖

Awww thank you Belladonna! Glad you enjoyed it💕
You are more than welcome!
You are inspired.
It is inspiring to witness Jacqui, you’re right. 💗
Cindy, a beautiful poem capturing the flux in your life and its huge changes upon you all. One stanza stands out for me:
‘The tender grip of a newborns clench,
the frail hands of great grandparents blessings,
bridge distance of young and old.”
Exquistively you describe the moment my son met my grandfather. With my son on my lap my grandfather reached out for his hand – they held hands for over half an hour, looking into each others eyes, ignoring the conversation around them. In those minutes they formed the closest link and even though my grandfather has passed away the relationship between the two still touches my son and the choices in his life.
Congratulations on becoming a grandmother and it must have been amazing to be present at the birth. Haha! I laughed out loud at your previous post of feeling exhausted and how you could not understand your husband when he said the same after the birth of your own child. Yep, I had just the same reaction.
Cindy, I wish a smooth transition for your FIL – never easy. Take care of yourself too, it is always easy to forget. hugs xx
❤️❤️❤️
❤️❤️
A beautiful and blessed life ahead of you, Cindy! 💝
Thank you so very much Filipa🥰🥰
I always appreciate your heart rendering and insightful comments Annika! I appreciate you sharing that stanza that stood out.
What a wonderful memory of you dad and son. How very special that they live on in his heart and yours. Truly touching. My mom has held her (actually everyone has longer than me.. ha) I said she also needs to acclimate to her own sense of self.
My Dad is moving right down the road from my 97 year old FIL so hopefully they can see each other more. Neither have met her yet. It’s sooooo hard, you’re right!
OMG it’s so exhausting right?!!!! I’m sooo tired right now. Life is always trying to find respite and balance. ❤️
Love and congratulations to all of you! ❤️🙏
Thank you so much Ingrid! 💞
aaaw… heartwarming poem, Cindy.
Best wishes your’ls way🤍🤗
Oh thanks so much Destiny, always💗
always a pleasure 🌹🤍

Ah Yes Beautiful Poem For the Patience
of Awaiting the Next Generation Dear Cindy
Hehe my Wife Will Surely Relate as A Great Great
Aunt 6 and 7 Times Over in Another 2 Months True
With Her Sister Already A Great Grandmother Likely
to Make Great Great Grandmother Living Within a Decade or
So With my Wife Making Great Great Great Aunt in the Same Span
of Course too What’s Really Fascinating is How Much my Wife Didn’t
Change Holding the Great Niece and a Generation Later Holding the Great Great
Niece Grace as Her Family Predicts the same to Happen Again hehe True ‘Fairy Tales’
Do Come True
Yet Only If
We Truly Believe
How Rare That Is Indeed…
Yet my God True i Watch
it Happen Always Newly Now For Real in Faith..:)

Cindy, you are juggling a lot of life events. Not all are joyous, but those that are not still require due diligence. Best wishes with your good news. I love the poem and picture. Keith
Thank you so much for noticing Keith and your kind comment. Your words are touching and I’m so glad you enjoyed my poem and picture. Much appreciated. 💗
Such a beautiful word picture of the “bridge distance of young and old” to savor. 💕
Thank you so much Deborah. Glad you liked those lines❣️
Good luck with the move, it’s quite difficult to take care of older people and sometimes it’s best to move them somewhere that they can be properly taken care of. And yay for baby C, excited to see what name they choose! 😊
I so much appreciated.. You’re so very right. I know he’s scared but it is for the best and he needs a lot. I think we’re getting close… I call her muncha muncha because all she does is eat. 🤣
Yeah, I think it’s scary for everyone involved and not a decision we look forward to making as kids but it’s for the best.
Lollll that’s adorable 😅
totally true, especially when you’re not proactive. hahahaha. I called all of mine that too. ha
Gorgeous poem, Cindy. A huge congratulations on your new addition. Best of luck with your dad. A move after such a long time must be tough. Blessings , my friend .💕
