She has the hair of a flaxen sunrise Touching the horizon of her waist Running wild she tangles the flow She churns the current of the stream The words to music she doesn't know She turns the hands back on the clock How the old men wish for youth How her skin glows in the dark If she steps into the light Mother Nature pulls the clouds apart She laughs the belly laugh untouched She sings the heaven sparrow's song How the slide of Motherhood Has made me dive into the earth A thousand braids for us to speak She holds me stable on my feet Intertwining our bond so strong She warms me in her vision streams Even in the coldest dreams How she is my direction In the silk of her affection How I love to comb her glory While she tells me all her stories And she is lovely enough to say How she wishes her hair was red Like mine someday.

Marge: LOL! Mine I try to cover the grey with Golden Brown, but it still comes out red no matter what I do! Yes, she is my precious daughter. I want her hair and she wants mine. Isn't that the way it goes. Thanks for reading! Rex: Absolutely! Every moment. Thank you sir Poet! Sincerely, Regina |

Dear Regina, wonderful times these, spent with our children, dreaming of futures, telling of dreams, comparing notes and just being close. I loved the read and the story that it tells. . Our childrens love, makes the road not as long and the hours of effort worth it. Rick |
