Life Is But A Kiss

A timeline of a life through kisses.

A kiss on the babe’s brow; let her be loved

Her tiny fingers wrap the tip of a father’s

Those baby blues rimmed in feathery black

Tugging at the seams of the heart

 

A kiss in the child’s hair; let her be loved

Her golden curls bouncing as she runs

The tiniest voice begging please daddy, please

Tugging at the hem of daddy’s shirt

 

A kiss on the girl’s cheek; let her be loved

Her bright smile surrounded by blushing skin

Lips wiped clean of the drippings of her milkshake

Tugging at the fingers of a boy

 

A kiss on the bride’s lips; let her be loved

Her fair cheeks stained with tears of joy

Those baby blues digging holes in her love’s

Tugging at the heart in his chest

 

A kiss on the babe’s brow; let her be loved

Her tiny fingers wrap those of a Father

Those baby blues fading in the moonlight

Tugging at the hand of a Savior

Who've would have thought that it was possible to tell a life story through a kiss. Not me, but here you've done it :)

I love your quatrains and if you were to infuse some rhyme into them - maybe ABCB - they would be that much more fantastic. I havent some across any of your poetry that uses a rhyme scheme yet (send me a RR if you got some), but I suggest you try it :)

Nicely done.

A beautiful poem. Your words told a true and wonderful story. Those kisses from your Grandmother on top of your head. A mother kiss and to kiss your little baby in your arms are some of many kisses and emotion of love we show to our family and friends. A outstanding poem with great wisdom.

Nice reflection of a girls life through kisses, this was sweet and well written. I so look forward to reading your new stuff, I loved it.

holy Lord, I love this... very precious, very sweet... O my Word...

the only suggestion I have is in the second stanza, last line, it says "the rim of daddy's shirt..." I think it might make more sense to say "the hem of daddy's shirt..."

just a thought... other than that... the repetition is great, the idea itself wonderful, and of course you really hit me with that last stanza... beautiful, bee bop...
