she twirled in mem'ries long since past "a lady," she did proclaim announcement bold for all to see chiffon in character, if not in name the years, her partner dear, in all that she might do passed like a soft morning's glistening speaking quietly, suff'ring gently obeisance e'en stood still listening to the words of her charmed life's song to the charm of her life's song's words she twirled in mem'ries, spent in soft scenes pure recalled to reoccur, granting glimpses in her blur standing on the promises of once loved, always so reminiscence ruminating...while gentle heartbeats stir to the song of a life lived charmed to the life of a heart lived warm she twirls through the mind of mem'ries lived long in the heart of a father's simple sunset song list'ning to her words over again and again "I, a lady" "Look at me", she does begin ...and the song plays on |

if this weren't so beautifully written I'd think it almost cruel... I sit here nearly sobbing as I recall those tender moments of your recalling that sweet time of life when I spoke those words. My only memory is of you proudly speaking of the incident and the way your eyes would sparkle. What a wonderful tribute... oh how I miss you! |

Wow! That drew the emotions out of me. There's more to this story I'm sure but I can get the picture and compliment you on a fine composition from the heart. Eric |

A loving father's fond memories of his little lady. I read your daughter's response and I got a little teary-eyed myself. This heart-warming poem brought back memories of my own daughters twirling in front of my grandma's tilt-mirrored dresser, pretending they were princesses.  Thanks for stirring my own sweet memories!  Linda |
