Eyes So Blue

Mmm it's good to be on the computer again.

Hello my little one,

With your eyes so blue,

Ever let your voice,

Ring so true.

 

Hello my dear one,

Squishing the sand between your toes,

Smiling blissfully at the water,

Forgetting your woes.

 

Hello my sweet one,

With your tiny soul so free,

I will always be with you,

And you with me.

 

Hello my precious one,

You watch me with unseeing eyes,

I am here to protect you,

From the world's many lies.

 

Hello my sacred one,

Never will you know fear,

Always be brave,

Because I am near.

I like this one...I actually have a (possibly bad) habit of only reviewing poetry I like....

Simple, vague and easy to follow...like, in my opinion, all good poems are.

"Hello my dear one,

Squishing the sand between your toes,

Smiling blissfully at the water,

Forgetting your woes."

That's the line that took me for ransom. Allusions to peaceful scenes, especially natural(beaches, especially) and forgetting your woes always help calm the nerves...

Anyway, liked it...hope you don't kill yourself because I'd like to read more of your work.

The hopes of a parent to their child. As you said, a universal image. Nevertheless it is written very well and has a soft respective side to a loving instinct that makes it just as sweet as the words that are used. Fantastic piece.

[Kara Emily Krantz]

haha yeah I wasn't sure which it was, parent, lover, but didn't think of Angel. I guess Angel would be the only one to fulfill each and every one and still have a healthy relationship.

Beautiful piece, full of hope. Thank you for sharing. :D

Did I hear someone say the word pet? Great poem! But you can't always shelter children.

[Joseph - Michael]

From my point of view, it's like saying those lines to your own child, you know? But, it doesn't matter how we all see it, as long as you leave everything out in the open, making the readers guessing on how they'd like the writing goes...

So, it's all great here...

Beautiful. First thought was Parent to Child and because I am a nanny... it also reminds me of the children I care for 55 hours a week...

Very beautiful.

Very cute!

I love it!

[Wolfwind Words]

This was beautiful! It encompasses the whole of all those that would shelter and protect those that are still young and can't protect themselves.
Even God, could be placed into this discription.
This flowed well and gives me hope!
Great Write!

This is a pure work, simple and plain. I envision a parent watching their child play and thsi poem expresses their wishes for that child. Nicely done, now welcome back!
