Isabelle Leigh

A poem for my niece, oh goshers how I love her so!

Chubby fingers and a snub nose,
loose brown locks wild and free.
Bright wide blue eyes, soft pale skin.
Secrets whispered into trusting ears.
Smiles,giggles, tickles and kisses.
The way she gets excited
over simple everyday things.
A spider holds her attention,
butterflies delight and fascinate her.
For all these things and more,
I love her.
Her innocence, her wonder,
the funny things she does.
The way she runs to me,
to make her feel safe,
she snuggles in my arms until she is safe again.
The way her face lights up when she sees me.
I love her.
I love my beautiful niece,
with everything I have.
Every time I see her
my heart threatens to explode.
I love her because
she is part of me.
She is of my blood,
and I will never leave her.
I love you Isabelle Leigh.

Very sweetly done... Great imagery and oodles of love spread over the page ... Great detail of her physicality and emotional innocence... Sounds like you two have a special bond ... Thanks for sharing!

Man, she sounds like my little girl, Kaitlyn. She loves to look for worms while waiting for the bus. She is so pure and free. You are lucky to experience a child as an aunt. I always second guess bringing kids into this sick world. I LOVE both of them, but worry so much for their future. Kids are so innocent. I am such an overprotective, weepy father...lol!
