The sky did look most pleasing tonight.
No trees nor smog to obscure my sight.
As clouds strolled past both grey and white.
With a touch of pink woven through.

The beauty held in that vision clear.
Could just compete with one I hold dear.
Her hair so soft when held so near.
Who once told me "pink means Chloe!"

My daughter held my hand so long.
From moment one til she grew strong.
I loved her and taught her right from wrong.
But like a cloud she floated away.

So here I sit in the breath of night.
Try to catch a cloud and hold it tight.
But it is out of reach as well as sight.
My daughter, Miss Pink Means Chloe.

Very touching.  I have to believe these words will make their way to your daughter.  There's too much feeling behind them for it not to be so.  I can feel your ache.

Yes, they do drift away sometimes never to return, but your faith is strong, I've a feeling i will reach her.

Sandra,

So beautiful and haunting.  You really touch me with your poetry .. and I have missed you.

It's good to read you again.

Seraphin, I don't know whether Chloe is still on Earth or not, but either way, I ache for your pain, more than you will ever know.  My daughter is still on this Earth, but she cut me out of her life more than twenty years ago.  That is how she wants it.

Touching and affectionate...
I have a daughter too, and I pray for her every time I recall what a daredevil she is.
