A Full Life

A wild filly of a daughter whose never had her spirit broke Who never took to the bridle nor has she bent beneath life's yoke

Rebecca and our granddaughter Payton on her first day of life.

With you I share my greatest joys

a heart that never feels alone

The house, our home, where we belong

grander treasures I've never known

 

Our grandchild alight with beauty

that shines bright as the soul within

Who's never known disappointment

nor the weight of a single sin

 

To that I add my own young boy

who likes to spend his time with me

Tossing a baseball back and forth

living treasures from life's own tree

 

A wild filly of a daughter

that never had her spirit broke

Who never took to the bridle

nor has she bent beneath life's yoke

 That look, that smile, your knowing, glance

like a stroll through the summer wheat

I lay my pen in reverence

upon the ground beside your feet

Author's Note

It was said that Leonardo Da vinci once was apprenticed to a master painter. His master came over with his brushes to investigate Leonardo's progress on a painting. Upon looking at his apprentices work. It was reported a tear flowed down his cheek. He lay his brushes at Leonardo's feet and never picked them up again.
Such is the case with Rebecca.
Thank you Becky
