Family grows and moves on, but yet our hearts are always together.
Getting ready for a family reunion, this poem was written with the heart and soul of a mother waiting for the return of her family from far away places.
A son from the danger of war in Iraq, a daughter off in a far away place making a new life for herself waiting for the love of her life also to return from the war, a new grand daughter she has yet to meet.
While nestled in the mountains of Colorado, the horizon is big and far and the pull of the heart will bring the family back to her side, if even for a short while.
Watching Watching the horizon Feeling the distance between us Pounding Heart, Tearful Soul Watching Sleepy little eyes, Struggling to see the world Make your mark, Leave your prints Pounding Heart, Tearful Soul Watching Tonka trucks and care bears, Kindergarden, 4th Grade High School Dances, dreams being made Growth and Adventure, Walking down the raod Make your mark, Leave your prints Pounding Heart, Tearful Soul Watching Returning to my side Always coming home Family Root of Love, Root of Life Watching the horizon Feeling the distance between us Pounding Heart, Tearful Soul Watching Victoria Blatzer
