Some Roses

for my lovely daughter

Some roses are so lovely

they see you smile…

 

petals dance

                on a lullaby

the joy of a songbird’s melody

high up in the trees

 

As graceful as the wind stirring your hair

weaving golden threads to catch the beauty of the day

             the light that is you

 

First in my love, my strength, my happiness….

 

In times of struggle, I look to you as I would an indigo dream

of endless skies and warm spring days

and birds that sing with lifted voice

 

as poetry finds my heart again

 

and I think

some roses are so lovely

Even before I got to the line that mentions it, I was hearing birds chirping and seeing the plants and flowers gently sway in the breeze.
This is why poetry exists, to fully convey feelings bursting from a heart.
I'm sure these words will be a future treasure to that child, all grown.
Beautifully penned.

More than beautiful, more than sincere, couldn't be more loving: wonderful poetry. Nuff said, but, meant.

Take care, keep safe.

This was so beautiful to read...

When the poet's imagery complements or tops the artwork, she has succeeded in hooking the reader. You certainly did that here. The colors, aroma, texture of nature came through the screen. And, there's something special that happens when we write for a loved one, especially a child. It's a sincerity you captured so well here. Exceptional work in all aspects.
