The Beauty of You

11 October 2006


Careyann, the only one I need,
the light, the soap, the seed.
Scrub my back, and Macaroni Cheese feed.
Walk beside me, and know it is true,
the Careyann inside of the beauty of you.

Your heart, your softness, all in kind,
the desire and debonair qualities,
the strength of mystery upon your mind.
Careyann, you're so beautiful
and strong in ways of hidden depth.

As each day one and two does mature,
like and liking are to overcome.
Perhaps that day of birth,
beautiful children, to a beautiful Mum.

Rachel's mother, daughter in kind,
Careyann, a parent to rejoice.
Just know in flavour, your taste
was every thing, and the Almighty by choice.



"And he said unto them, Is he well? And they said, He is well:
and, behold, Rachel his daughter cometh with the sheep"
Genesis 29: 6 KJV

Hi

I read this poem several times and I am still not sure of your intent. You offer a biblical quote that should clear things up but alas I have not done my homework and I do not have a clue concerning the meaning of the quote. Your wording is also a bit different than what I am used to. It could be the linguistic differences between English and English. Anyway I think this is a very good poem I wish I could understand it more clearly.

It is not the understanding of the poem, just how you do feel once you have read the poem.

one day people will learn that

which might be why my presence on this site is largely ignored
