I watched you lay there
Cheek to Cheek
Mother daughter in silent peace
so gentle ang glowing
with beauty and pride
My heart so filled
to lay at your side
for there is no time
No moment so true
As this very moment
I stay here with you
You are the gleam
In my babies eyes
you are the stitch
of which we comprise
That no more happy
can I ever be
Than watching you here
each second you see
Time passes before us
so soon she'll be grown
Running and playing
In search of her own
Life and Love
Peace and joy
together her life
We'll share and adore
Our Sweet Makaylah

Very touching tribute to youth and life. I especially liked the bit: "you are the stitch of which we comprise" and how it's right in the center of the work "stiching" it's two halves together. Not sure if that was intended but interesting to me, noless.

A heartfelt write
I loved it.

Poet, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.

This is such an endearing portrait of calm after the storm--it brings me great joy to know that you have found "serenity" afterall...

May you always have the happiness that you deserve my sweet friend.

Sweet Makaylah has such a good daddy.
