Exuberance

Flying high as a kite
Up in a hot air balloon
Floating on a cloud
Soaring through the sky
Uncontained joy
Feet only just touching the ground
There are not enough words to express how I feel
Everyone said how wonderful it would be
As if it was a secret to be revealed
But I had to wait
Wait to become a grandmother
But Little Aurora didn’t
Two weeks early
The phone call
A gentle mew
What, I said, do I hear?
It’s your grandbaby
Big healthy wail
Lola, I’m here
Oh my
Shocked and speechless
I heard my grandbaby cry
My little love arrived early
A girl, a girl, it’s a girl!
Prodigal smiles
Mommy tears
Love abounds
For my newest joy in life
　
　

Destination

The journey awaits
Leaving on a jet plane
Up, up and away
Heading down that road
Detouring on the path untaken
A new mountain passage
Paddling up river with paddle
Putting one foot in front of the other
The destination matters most
Anticipation captures the heart
A brand-new experience
Great expectations
Elevated excitement
Life changes
Upon returning home
I'll be a different person
I'll be granmama

Alone

I'm standing alone at the top of the hill
I'm standing alone at the bottom of the hill
Looking up
Looking down
Moving left
Moving right
Full colors ahead
Darkness behind
When I'm up
I should be down
When I'm down
I should be up
When to zig
When to zag
It all depends on me
Awaiting sunset
Anticipating dawn
Biding my time
Wondering
Deciding
The quandary
What is right for me
Is mine alone
