It's hard to believe it was 20 years ago today I received a gift from God
in the form of a baby, my first grandchild, a grandson.
His name, Anthony. He arrived gently and without much crying
as if he was happy to finally arrive at his destination.
As they wheeled him into the nursery, I asked them to stop so I may kiss him,
and as I walked over to him I saw this glowing radiant light surrounding his head,
I knew at this point, he was blessed.
I placed my cheek next to his cheek with the degree of passion
as if it was forever I waited to touch him,
for that brief moment I felt his skin I understood then,
it was many life times I had known him.
It's been more than 6 years now since my green eyes has seen his brown eyes, or my arms have held him or my hands placed in his.
I did hear his voice over a year ago for a short time
this was a wonderful day for me short but wonderful.
He always called me Mom .
Anthony is a wonderful young man now, loved by so many people and by God.
He is an all around athlete, basketball,baseball and his love, Motor Cross racing.
From the age of 4, he has been on motor bikes as seen here below,
This day was one of the greastest days as all of us were there for him to cheer him on
and to enjoy the outdoors and with family, his family .. us.
He didn't win but that doesn't matter,what matters was he played the raced to his best ability and learned team spirit.
He now owns a new bile and his own truck and has a good job from what I hear.
I still haven'nt see him or heard from him however,
he has always been inside my heart and soul long before he was born
and this will never change.
Happy 20th Birthday Anthony and I WISH YOU PEACE
Love Mom ..
Accept my best wishes from my heart for your beloved Anthony.God bless him 🙂

Hi dear Eve!The ‘my green eyes has seen his brown eyes’ are the most wonderful poetic words, they are your real ‘voice’ what I very like…:)With love,G.
Dear Fatimah,You come before my eyes in versatile forms, sometimes a heart full of passion and love and sometimes breathing with kindness and niceness and still having many more qualities which I am failing to express for the lack of my vocabulary. Here, in you, I find a grandmother whose heart is longing to see her grandson. Fatimah, I lost my grandmother some 26 months ago… and when she was alive…There was no missing nor any longingFor sometimes we’d have short meetingsAll her harsh words that came out of loveWould touch like thornsBut now as she’s dead and goneAll the thorns seem to be rosesWhose fragrance is still breathingThe touch of her tender old handsOn my head and faceThe glittering of her eyesWhenever they met mineThe lovely smile that’s now fadedThe singing of her holy hymnsStill in my ears resoundingAnd I would God could Grant me this wishO Lord! Send her back from AboveThe Statue of Love! Fatimah, thank you – you know for what. And thanks again for your words… “…for that brief moment I felt his skin I understood then, it was many life times I had known him.”With love,Yours lovingly,Gopal.
