With a Kiss by Marsha Foss - Your Daily Poem

Marsha Foss, a retired educator, spends her time between her two favorite states, Maryland and Minnesota. When in St. Paul, she enjoys being connected to the area's vibrant writing community. Her work has been published in numerous places, and she has been nominated for a Pushcart Prize. An added joy is living near two young grandsons who are proud of her winning, finally, at age 70, a prize in a poetry contest.

Well-written and poignant. Close to what happened between the death of my father-in-law and my second granddaughter. He did live long enough to be told of her birth and to see pictures.
