Pixie Prance Virginia Salter A diaper clad pixie or maybe a cherub heel-toeing the sidewalk pushing her conveyance of joy golden curls glistening in the sun bright, sparkling eyes livening her little cherub smile a bounce in her step her tresses reflect a body quite ebullient with life Mama in the yard keeping a safe-distance guard while toddler executes serious play back in my memory to my daughter then me when playing in sunshine was fine dreams were like castles with effervescent tassels and frogs were their princes cattails their fences and any sweet dream could be mine. © July 2, 2001 [This message has been edited by VAS (edited 07-03-2001).] |

This was lovely. They make it all worth while don't they? The children and the memories.  |

Thank you all, so much. I'm really quite happy you've enjoyed this one. While driving down one of the busier streets in our little town, yesterday, I saw this adorable little curly headed blond girl heel-toeing up the sidewalk. As I wrote the poem, I thought back to when my daughter was that size and then to when I was. The poem evolved from playful thinking and memories. Jwesley, how sweet of you to come in twice and to take time to comment, twice. |
