    Be There

    You who can just easily walk up in there
    Why do you take it all for granted and not care?
    Such a short time for you to stand tall
    Yet excuses you make and leave with "I'll call",
    Those precious moments you let slide by
    Then when you are ignored you wonder why?
    Realize everytime you choose to walk away from
    Tomorrow you will be the one longing for them to come,
    One simple step up and you make the day
    Showing you care with Love as the way,
    So stand up, take a step and walk in...
    simply to always show you care to just be there!

    --- A simple poem dedicated to my 5yr.old grandaughter who was missing her Papa ---

    Very beautiful, very moving ........ feeling the anguish of a 5yr. old little girl ---- So innocent, so unassuming -- Not understanding that unconditional love is not a two way street!

    Beautiful! I too have a granddaughter...Kamalei, and she is sometimes testy with her Papa...oh those little girls!

    If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.

    Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) American poet.
