FLOWERS FOR MOMMY

Written to the photo....

FLOWERS FOR MOMMY

She stole my heart so long ago
That munchkin angel with a glow
Of angel's breath and lemon drops
Her child-like beauty...curly top!

No other child upon this earth
Will ever match her love or worth
An only daughter by design
Of One who knew that I would find..

A simple truth within those eyes
That held the key...my golden prize
I gave her life...she gave me mine
To reach where only angels dine

The years of time have seen her through
So many heartaches known by few
And yet remains her child-like faith
To see tomorow as a place

That welcomes those who seek and search
And so I place the flowers perched
"These are for you" she used to say...
It seems like only yesterday.
~~

To my beautiful daughter Tammy...how I love you!

Okay, now wiping a tear away... .. catching breath. Apart from the gentle meter and the form in which you've created this poem: what matters more are the words. Dear goodness they strike home, each and every one, sweetly, sincerely put. Your Tammy is as much fortunate in having you as a mummy as you are to have her in your life. (You)

Damn fine tribute to your little one.

I'm a sucker for innocence themed poetry. However this ends on something of a forlorn note. The loss of innocence... a moving on so to speak.

This is an incredible poem.... and I would never say that for no reason.

[Miss Sharon]

Thank you king sir(s). I appreciate your wonderfully complimentary review. ~Sharon

[Davidgeo]

That's kind of a strange way to address me. I'm not a king and I am surely one person. Reading you was simply my pleasure.

[Miss Sharon]

It was a typo...LOL. I meant to say "kind" sir. If you are one person, I don't understand why your name is listed as Mr. Anagnorisis AND Dr. P

[Davidgeo]

It's a shameless Jekyll and Hyde rip off based on another shameless ripoff of Mike Rowe talking about Aristotle and the business of animal husbandry.

[Davidgeo]

I'm still one fella...

[Miss Sharon]

Got ya! ~SP
