“…to share her apple breath…”…my poem
the trusting babe…
Near
…close enough to feel my thumb
in her searching grip,
close enough to share
her apple breath,
close enough to cradle
her weight across my arm,
and weep true love’s tears
as she suddenly sleeps
without a care…

I was walking around our kitchen, in early 2011, with my first granddaughter in my arms.
