In Amanda Yellow Once named, oh virtuous one, all I hoped to become was given birth Each time saucer blue gleamed up into my open heart, and burst in flower Bouncing blonde locks soon took on red radiance, and often purple blush Snags of skinned knees, and romps along wood chipped playgrounds We have walked across the country side, your hand reaching up for mine Days overcast, when you shuffled behind me, serenading the trees in sonic booms How I’ve loved the light you spread along the window sills, filling hollow rooms Always my defender; sweet surrender to my own regard, puppies playing in the yard My strength and my courage, oh yes you have been aptly named And every spring, while I gather back ambition and move in spirit with the earth’s fruition It is you that finds the brightest yellows, soon to be a step beyond me And summer comes, imperial as I look forward to remembering with awe Thank you for these times, these days and all the happy hours that for you I saw Daughter, every day is certainly your sunshine And every rise, I am grateful for your sweet surprise Copyright Kkh 4/11/09 |

I can most certainly feel and identify with the maternal quilt of love you knit with your tender stitch. |

I have little doubt that A is a treasure that will bless you always, just as you do her. Smiling at the devotion of a mother and the wonder of a daughter. |

ThisDiamond Snags of skinned knees, and romps along wood chipped playgrounds serenading the trees in sonic booms It is you that finds the brightest yellows, soon to be a step beyond me This is really good writing, nice images and smooth flow and voice. Cheers |

I've tried, without success, to write a poem that would do justice to my daughter, but all I have is an overflowing wastebin. With this memorable and touching piece you have showed, with your writing skills , how it should be done. |

I literally have tears in my eyes with the beautiful visions and sentiments in this expression of love for your daughter. Amanda is as beautiful as is her poetess mother.  A tear has just slipped down my cheek...as I smile...  EA |
