Slobbery smooches,
giggles and grins
cute as can be
Leah Destiny Friend
Granddaughter of mine;
love of my life
bringing happiness,
erasing all strife
Three tooth smile;
prettiest ever seen
Big blue eyes
may soon turn green
Crawling everywhere;
hard to keep up
Making messes
with your sippy cup
First sweet potatoes
My, what a mess
but bath time was fun
I really must confess
Eating cheerios
found on the floor
only nine months old
but she can open doors
Doors to my heart
and all who know
Leah Destiny Friend
Puts on quite a show
Most adorable baby;
so sweet and cute
To say anyone is cuter
would be rather moot

Dedicated to my beautiful granddaughter

Dear Crazymomma: I read your poem Destiny because I also wrote a poem titled Destiny. Sorry so long to read some of yours. I found out that I had a mini-stroke because my local ER Personnel abused me when I had my accident on JUne 10th. I really like your poem. I too am a new grandmother, and also freaked out when I found out. My daughter Kristen just turned 20 in JUne. I am now 44, as of July 08. My new granddaughter, Genevieve is now 3 months old. She was born on May 1st,2008. She is so beautiful and innocent, and I would do anything for her. I love her with my entire being. I too didn't think I would enjoy being a grandma, but I really like it. I show her picture to people I don't even know. Much Love, janjan xoxo P.S. i don't know how to use the gold faces for rating poems yet, but I give yours A++++.

Nice write. Can definitely feel the emotion throughout, as well as picture Leah mentally as you read. Good rhyme and rhythm, too.
Congratz on your hardware!

Your poem Destiny
This has to be the cutiest little poem I have ever read describing a beautiful baby girl. I bet this was as much fun to write as it was to read. I really did enjoy the way you described the little girl. I felt the love in this poem.
Good job! Well written and I'd love to read more like this from you!

You know
One of my daughters just had a little baby boy & damn I lo ve him so. He has given me a reason to go on. Thank you for writing this special piece
-
there's nothing on earth like being a grandma. I enjoyed this a lot. My oldest grandchild is 15. I have 7.
-
this is sweet. i like the short lines and the non-use of stanzas, it makes it flow pretty well. you could work on that a bit, the rhyme is a little off in places, but it's good, overall.
-
An adorable write filled with joy. The rhyme scheme seems a bit choppy, and I would have used more punctuation, but all in all, I found this enjoyable to read. Who can resist children? You might want to play with the flow a bit..for instance, try "bringing me joy" instead of "bringing me happiness" in line seven. Longer lines would also help to eliminate the choppiness. Aside from that, a nicely rhymed verse with love shining throughout.
-
A poem that is full of experience and heartfelt feeling. I think it improves when you get into your rhyme scheme.
-
beautiful
Children are so inspiring. They let us hope for so much and they bring such simple pleasure to our lives.
-
congrats on becoming a grandmother!!! grandchildren are such a blessing! you have captured the growth of a child with love and humor. thank you for sharing this. keep writing! God bless you always

A blessed mother
Motherhood is the blessing of God. Only a mother can enjoy the innocence of a child. Sucking the fingers, the toothless face, the movements of the hands and feet, smiling then crying all of a sudden, and the beaming eyes make a child dear to every one. The attachment a mother has towards her child is made manifest. The picture drawn is clear and graphic
-
I love this poem. It is very sweet and to the point. No big words to take away the joy in your voice.
-
This is simply adorable! She sounds like a precious little girl. You've described her so well and every word drips with sweetness and love. Great job!
-
This makes me happy. I may be 20, but i look forward to raising such faces as what you've described. this makes me very happy inside. almost childish myself. finalist.

Babies are the gift to the world. That was brought out here to remind us all that they are the future and while babies are still born there is some hope for this sorry world. Congrats. Is she your first?
