My little girl

 

I love to see you smile,

and the funny little faces you make

when your trying something new.

I love to dress you up

in pink frilly dresses.

in little bobby socks with lace

and tiny little shoes,

that click when you walk.

I love the way you sing

those made up little songs

that never make any sense.

I love all your "why" questions,

even though they make me crazy.

I love all your  "just because hugs "

and your "just because little kisses."

I love all that you are

and the joy you bring me everyday.

 I love you my sweet little girl

because I know that you love me.

Sweet. I feel this way about my grandson. He is such a bundle of joy. Touching write. Smiling at you.

A poem is an individual expression. Stories or other non-poetic writing can be more easily deconstructed. This poem is deeply personal and as such it is an honor to read it. A gift of sharing etc. Also it is written well. Simple, direct great flow. The subject matter has been dealt with a million times yet this feels fresh to me...because it is very honest.

Well done.

Awww don't be so hard on yourself Mia.
This was great and it showed the reader
you have a soul and a kind heart.
I have 3 kids of my own and I miss those days
you talk about in this poem.

Don't ever give up on the poetry your doing it just right.

I love it. Maybe because it makes me nostaligic for the days when my little girl was like this. I miss those days. Now, I get dirty looks and slammed doors. Ha! I'm told it will pass. I think the poem is great though and it has a nice flow to it.

It's cute and simple. However, at parts, it's flat... I don't pick up any tone you're trying to send me (the reader). This poem can really be something!

EDIT: Did you revise it? Nevertheless, it's very well-written now that I look at it. Bravo!
