Christmas From the Heart

Family grows and moves on, but yet our hearts are always together. Getting ready for a family reunion, this poem was written with the heart and soul of a mother waiting for the return of her family from far away places. A son from the danger of war in Iraq, a daughter off in a far away place making a new life for herself waiting for the love of her life also to return from the war, a new grand daughter she has yet to meet.
While nestled in the mountains of Colorado, the horizon is big and far and the pull of the heart will bring the family back to her side, if even for a short while.

Watching

Watching the horizon

Feeling the distance between us

Pounding Heart, Tearful Soul

Watching

Sleepy little eyes,

Struggling to see the world

Make your mark, Leave your prints

Pounding Heart, Tearful Soul

Watching

Tonka trucks and care bears,

Kindergarden, 4th Grade

High School Dances, dreams being made

Growth and Adventure, Walking down the raod

Make your mark, Leave your prints

Pounding Heart, Tearful Soul

Watching

Returning to my side

Always coming home

Family

Root of Love, Root of Life

Watching the horizon

Feeling the distance between us

Pounding Heart, Tearful Soul

Watching
