Catching a glimpse of the soles of her feet

pulls at my heart, makes me think

of the path she has tred

and the path still ahead for this young

granddaughter of mine. 

May her feet take her where she wants to go.

May she carry herself with grace.

May she walk wrapped in compassion.

 May she know the satisfaction of accomplishment

 and the solace of a path traveled well.
