delightful little facelips pursed in purpose
can a mother be
even more in love?
when a daughter has a daughter
the love increases exponentially
wrapping my arms around her
in sheer explosion of sensation
the warmth of her hugs
the baby smell I missed
the familiar sounds of toddler laughter
the strident cry for 'gamma'
as is her right
for grandma has a role
as yet undiscovered
a soft place to land
someone who has her back
unconditionally
to follow more than lead
to listen not advise
to care so much a woman's heart bursts
this legacy completes
cycle of love
cycle of life
