Mimi, meet your great granddaughter, Kaylee, you said
as if the words meant something through the roar in my ears--
all the dreams realized and not, it all comes to this one miracle placed in my arms.
In my teary blindness I reach out for her, feel her first,
her precious body light as a feather, I know she looks at me.I want to see my great granddaughter’s eyes, that’s where connection is made.
The tears fade but not the catch in my throat as I finally see
this perfect little face, ears, rosebud lips, huge blue eyes, my Kaylee D, mine, my grandchild, my beautiful miracle
I readjust you as I sit and see that I am given the world in my arms.

A great event indeed Judy. What a beautiful face. I hope you post this at Poety Jam where the prompt is to write about a face.
A beautiful face for a beautiful gramma to love.
Grand poem about a Grand event with a super Great Granddaughter! Kylee is so precious.
Time passes so fast, doesn't it? A year ago seems like 'yesterday.' What a beautiful girl she is. I hope you have a chance to hold her again soon.
Precious, and she has your name. Kay-Lee D
