There in the mirror two peas in the snow Singing bright eyed songs and making my daughter laugh as If I’d lost my mind It’s a good day I’m alive savoring coffee that she made thick as syrup with sugar on top quiet hugs and morning chatter in the clatter of dishes I’ve been laid up for two days and look as if I bought death everyone is happy that I crawled out cheated When I look into my daughter’s face I bask in the sun She tarried by my side as I felt the wicked step-mother so cruel as to not be able to fix her favorite snack She brought Me Oreos and milk I accepted her offering and pooled up in her care It occurred to me she’ll never need any slippers nor a gown spun by magic she doesn’t even need a prince she dances on my heart and pirouettes in my soul all by her barefooted self We need a new Cinderella the other one is outdated |

This is priceless. I hope that she is of an age that you have shared this with her, and my prayer for her is that all she do for the rest of her life is magnify the goodness of herself that you have shown us here... a delight! |

I agree, the other one is outdated. Here's to a very special mother/daughter relationship.  Tender and sweet, my friend, enjoyed much. *hugs*Michael Michael Auguste~ |

Oh, now, dear Poetess, this wonderful piece of art has made my morning complete. Memories of my now grown daughter, pint sized and pixie faced - thankyou. Chris Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away. |

Regina you just melted my heart to mush this morning with this tender piece about your daughter. I think we have found a new cinderella in her that is for sure. Be well and make sure you save this one for her, as it is truly a treasure. <font face="monotype corsiva">~* Carpe' Diem *~ |

made me think of my recent visit with my sister - she is a still quite young now... and I had similar thoughts for her... unsure if it was a pleasant thing or a mournful thing, but definitely a change to be embraced... Well written... Hope your feeling better. |

This is so precious Regina. She sounds like a little doll. How lucky you are to have her, and how lucky she is to have such a wonderful mom as you. Funny, I never knew you had a daughter until I read this. Glad to hear you’re feeling better now. If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |

Regina, I just wanted to say hi. This is a beautiful poem and tribute to your daughter, and it helps to remind me that there is a reason to the madness even if sometimes its hard to see. When my little girl smiles its like the whole gray of the world lifts. And now I have another little prince or princess getting ready to make an entrance, and I'm not sure if you remember, but thats partly owed to you and your daughter's story. SO, thanks again. Carrie Go ahead, push your luck; find out how much love the world can hold |
