Learning To Fly

She rises each morning Her routine calling She greets The beginning of day She scolds the dog And the cat for fighting Drinks her coffee And for a time drifts away Into another day ... She met herself here yesterday In visions She wishes to no longer see Too many night time's In daytime calling Pretending She just doesn't see All of the while The worries falling Into the heart that Does not want to receive Where are you Sweet morning hue Why is it she just can't seem To make herself Quit reliving sad scenes And yet in these days There is a sunshine That blocks out the rain The innocence of newness In all of the world That he sees She prays for a wing To new daytime's calling As she looks at herself In the mirror Today she will start Focusing on the sunshine For a time put away Worrisome tears Now brought back to a yesterday Where sweet memories play Recording in mind this moment Before it too Fades to another day Transported back in time By the sweetness Of new images seen Time slips away As she watches Her Grandson form dreams Praying that somehow He finds the life She wishes for his to be Opaque the tears On their way to sunshine Thru the smiles That she sees in his eyes No time to ponder The day is calling And she's getting ready to fly Lord bless you sweet Joseph My little pill and the sun In my sky For routine life may be But each day with me You teach Your Grandma to fly A heart feels much lighter When it can find a way To focus on sunshine You have just met My Grandson His name is Joseph He was Three At the beginning of March He is my constant companion CONSTANT ...

Lesa, you are such a wonderful soul. The love you share with us and the love you show that you have for your family and grandson. Your work of poetry is amazing and alway a pleasure to enjoy!

You put so much hard work into these, it shows. Well done, written and a joy to read. The song went well with this piece.

You will hear me mention Joseph or see him appear in my work many times. I have him with me more than his Mommy has him
because of the hours she works. He will be dropping in on you every now and then. LOL

Thanks for letting me introduce you to him in various stages of age.
