The Little Things

 

The joys of life can be felt

As precious life grows

Within my womb

 

The joys of life can be felt

In his arms 20 years later

Still feels just like the first

 

The joys of life can be felt

When I hold my first grand

In my bosom

— Barbara Writes, Apr 23, 2008

Laugh out loud at that

Smiles:) Barbara more like twenty years of marriage. maybe I need to clarify that. 20 year old at my age, no way, my oldest son is 21 no offense to twenty years olds. men of all ages are special.
