A Grandmother's Poem - In memory of Caleb Gavin Fuson

A GRANDMOTHER’S POEM

In just a short moment,
you became the softness
beneath my smile,

In just a short moment,
you became the twinkle
in my eyes,

In just a short moment,
you were my dreams
of the future,

The things we would do,
The things I would teach you,
The things you would teach me
In just a short moment we shared,
A lifetime of love,

And then you were gone,
To sleep with the angels.

Poetry - A Grandmother's Poem

I used this as the dedication in Sacred Secrets, A Jacody Ives Mystery. For 7 months I watched him grow, looked into his eyes on ultra-sounds, listened to the tiny beat of his heart. Just a moment in time.


To Caleb Gavin Fuson. Born December 7, 2008. Died December 7, 2008. A precious moment in time.

The things you would teach me

And then you were gone,
