I really miss my daughters and my grandchildren tonight. They're spread all up and down the east coast and tonight it feels like they're a million miles away. Oh I call and talk to them on the phone, but there's nothing that compares to a real hug and being able to see and touch them. Besides, I just know all the kisses and hugs I gave my grandchildren for their "heart pockets" are used up, by now, and it's time to refill them ...

Little People
by CJ Heck
Footsteps on the staircase
hand prints on the walls
tiny fingers dripping things
up and down the halls.
Voices all in unison
calling out my name
arguing and pointing
and saying who’s to blame.
Dishes in the sink
couch cushions on the floor
clean and dust, then fall in bed
tomorrow will bring more.
Those times are etched in memory
my children now are grown
but I’ll gladly have it all again
when my grandkids all come home.
