~I wrote this for my daughter Courtney.......~


Cherished in every form
Our love like no other
United in sacred bond
Real love dignified
True lessons taught
Nurtured and adored
Enchanted soul
Young and Innocent

....With my eyes watching
         you every
           step
            of
             the
              way.....

i know how much love you have for courtney and how much she has for you...and as beautiful as this poem is...i know it is only a small slice of the overwhelming love shared between you both. your daughter is proud to have you for a mom...and im proud to have you as my best friend.


whatcha doing in this darkness baby
when you know love will set you free?
will you stay in the sea forever
Drowning there for all eternity? ~Live

~Dawn,
I dont think I could ever possibly show either courtney or you how much joy and happiness you bring into my life. You have both taught me the best lessons in life and I respect both of you for doing that. Thankyou for being a part of me!~

Beth-This is wonderful and very nurturing within itself....the days of our children are captured mostly in memory and each second we spend with them guides them to their place in life.  The importance of noticing all the little things bring about as much into their lives as all the larger lessons we give.  Your love for her shines brightly.

~Mark,
To me, it is the smaller things that makes our love shine brighter...the way we can sit for hours talking, to the way she holds my hand. Thankyou dearly~

~Sudhir,
You don't know what it means to have a reply from you. I admire you as a poet and a friend and it has certainly brightened my day to have both you and mark reply to me. Thankyou so very much~

This is such a lovely refection of the bonds and love between you, and it is so true, we do watch them every step of the way. What a lovely treasure this poem will always be
