As You are In My Grip

As you are in my grip,
I have found one of my life purposes. And words would fall short to describe who I am.
As you are in my grip,
there is a life chapter where God is molding me through – a little person. The last couple years, I had no choice but to have revisited over and over the meaning of mercy and grace.
As you are in my grip,
a lullaby song is not just simply a sweet soothing melody. It is indeed a precious psalm that holds some stories of your childhood.
As you are in my grip,
my well of ‘tough love’ would never run dry – either you like it or not.
Thus for now, where life is the stage,
I will keep on dancing with you. The three of us.

One side note
About the picture: BEWARE as the above picture is a yr old. Thus, the munchkin has grown much bigger and so has her mom (though my hubby would obviously disagree on my statement). Sadly speaking, unlike her, I am still petite as I have always been. Only my cheeks have gotten chubbier as it’s winter time now (read: I eat a lot these days).





That’s so sweet!
when i’ll have my own kids, i wana dedicate an entire blog to them…this is so sweet!
“And words would fall short to describe who I am” Loved it. Great poem! Beautiful picture!!
Have a lovely weekend!
“as you are in my grip”…very nice and soothing words,Annita.

Happy weekend!
hugs,

Hello Ghee!!
Thank you my friend. well finally you could see me from ‘close.’ … and yes, I’m petite
.. during ’sale seasons’, somehow it’s good to be petite as there usually my size still ‘untouched’ .. LOL .. I used to be crazy about shopping but not anymore as now I’m not working … of course, the end of my addiction to clothes has made the man in my house is so much relieved now .. LOL
hope you had a lovely weekend too
…
talk to you later!!
ps. I don’t understand either why your 1st comment went to my spam folder while the 2nd one went straight here
…
Hello Jessie
Thank you for the visit last week
and many thanks for the kind comments

Hello Sophiagurl ,
he he he .. finally you could see me ‘eh? … this is a yr old pic so I’ve slightly changed though my height is still the same.
I’m still here perhaps until this week as need to write one more post. bloggng has been a wonderful experience but somehow it’s kinda hard to find the time to blog these days.
Sending you ‘digital’ hugs and kisses to you
..
Have a blessed week my friend and talk to you later
Hello Tot’s Mom
yes, I’m into poems though I do it just for fun
… wow, I wish I could write rhyming poems – like you .. those type of poems are hard to write ‘eh?? …
Have a pleasant week
.. I’m soooo looking forward for the weekend (if I could find a time-machine at Ebay perhaps I’d buy it)
Hello Marni!!
Thank you for the wishes!!!
Are you on a break from blogging ? .. If you are, thank you so much for taking the time to visit me back here. truly appreciate it
Wishing you the merry merry days
.. I’d love to drop by at your site before the Christmas:)
Take care there and hope you have a good ‘break’
Hello Janet
Thanks for the visit my friend !!
… I could say I was being sentimental when I wrote the poem .. he he he ..
Have a blessed week
..
.. Blessings for them!!
and sending hugs for your bundles of joys
Hello Ivy!!
hey, you just made me blushed when you wrote “we look cute.” .. frankly, my hubby needs to read your comment. his words of compliments for me seem to have eroded from his dictionary of words as time goes by
..
this week, perhaps would be my last day here as I’m taking a break from blogging …
talk to you later!!
thanks for the poem and your loving conversation with your daughter, have a blessed week as the holiday approaches us quicker than I would like.
hello Annita dear,
well,i meant “petite” in a very nice way,there are lots advantages being that way
oh yeah,i can relate so well.I took aside my shopping habit when i was just a stay at home mom,I had to,to handle everything well
my first comment had a link of my original blog,the reason why it went to your spam bin.honestly,i lost my interest in blog hopping coz of this thing,in some other blogs(esp. if i wasnt aware that they have akismet),i had to put 2 comments just to let them know i was there.geezz…i had no enough time to bloghop lately,so,i think i must figure it out on how i can save my URL from spammers.
btw,fun in manila was last year,yeah,we spent our winter vacation there for a month,this year,i cant make it,i have to stay here coz my eldest is cramming,i cant leave her.
thanx for the visit always,Annita!
hugs,
ghee
Hello Hin
Thanks for dropping by
… I do hope you didn’t forget to pick up your awards!! … Thanks for being a wonderful blogging buddy
… my gratitude for our friendship
yessss, christmas seems to be catching up with all of us .. I LOVE CHRISTMAS .. definitely not the presents but THE TOGETHERNESS AS A FAMILY ..
hopefully, we’d have ‘a white’ christmas day here and NO BLACKOUT
..
take care there ..
wishing LOTS LOTS OF BLESSINGS for all of you!!
(and yes, ‘talk to you later’)
Hello Ghee!!
as always, thanks for your wonderful visit
… I truly enjoyed my visit at your ‘home.’ you seem to always have interesting topics to write about. Such as the # of hits or ‘the feet seductions.’ about the last ‘one’, I didn’t dare to try it on my hubby. LOL.
Ghee, I knew when you meant ‘petite’ in very nice ways. no worries!!!!
.. but personally, I just wished I was a fewwwww inches taller. seriously. did write to santa to make me taller. apparently, my wish lists to him had gotten lost – every yr.
so, the pic was from your last yr christmas holiday? .. NICE
…
you said ‘your eldest cramming’ .. did you mean she is preparing for the university entrance exam? ..
you did the right thing Ghee : BY BEING THERE FOR HER ….
talk to you later Ghee .. I need to give Emily a bath and it’s close to her supper time.. she eats ‘early’ – at 5 PM
blessings for you!! ..
Beautiful picture Annita. I love the post. Very well written. Its certainly nice to see the brighter side every now and then. Made me smile.
Take care. Peace.

Hi Annita,
I know I’ve already commented on this post, but I just have one more thing to say. I just clicked on your blog again, and every time this picture of you with your Emily pops up, it just makes me smile. Such a warm, sweet picture, and again, I love your words to go along with it!
Have a great day!
Blessings,
Janet
Hello Annita,
Im here again and checking my blog friend here.this never happened to me before,I checked my blog calendar and found out that I`m posting everyday?whew!
actually,Annita,Im small too,5`2 to be exact,but dont find myself “petite”,coz of the “volume”!haha!well,i do appreciate every visit of yours.
she`s cramming for Senior High School.Here in Japan,high school is into two levels,Junior and Senior,both of them for three yrs course,but Senior High costs more money,esp when she won`t pass the gov. school!I cant imagine the tuition fees,entrance fee,and the miscellaneous every month!whew!it makes me perspire thinking about it,LOL!
Emily`s supper is at 5?wow! so early,but really,cold country people should rest earlier.
take care always,
ghee
Hello JD
…
I’m so glad you liked (and made you smile) ..:) .. you are the true writer. so, if a writer thinks my written poem as meaningful, you just sent me to ‘cloud #9′…
I’ve been trying to stick on a brighter side most of the time though life situations sometimes tend to bring me to the other side.
Take care there
~ Annita
Janet!!
your comment is sooooooo sweet!!! .. my cheeks felt turning pinkish reading your comment .. well, it’s good though so I didn’t have to put on my bronzer .. LOL ..
thank you, Janet … when it comes to writings, there’s still long way to go for me .. well, I do it just for fun ..
Take care to you too

and Blessings for all of you
~ Annita
Ghee
.. 
I always loved when you gave me a visit
yes, I also noticed your comment went straight here .. awesome!! … hopefully in the future, it’d do the same too ..
he he he .. it’s OK if you write almost every day .. my brains just get too lazy these days .. well, my hubby is actually the person who would really really mind if I spend too much time in the blogosphere .. for the peace in our house so I’ve listened to his pleas .. LOL
I’m 5′ft .. you’re 5′2 .. yesss, our heights don’t differ too much ‘ehhhh ??? … hmm, our petiteness is definitely appealing to our husbands though .. LOL …
All the best for your daughter Ghee …
… all the tuition expenses sum up, don’t they?? …
my daughter is not the only person who eats at 5pm .. so does my hubby!!!! .. myself prefers to eat later on as my tummy often asks for ‘another load of foods’ – by at 9 pm … bummer .. ..
talk to you later Ghee!!
Blessings
