Dainty ballerina, when you closed your eyes to rest,
did angels call you into dreams to see your Father’s best?
Playful winds around you must have held your little hand,
and led you down a moon-kissed path to-ward the promised land.

Tenderhearted sweetheart, when God beckoned from the sky,
did His deep love encompass you just ‘fore you learned to fly?
Wind-chime-laughing daughter, did you feel yourself arise -
when God our Heav’nly Father came to call you to the skies?

Effervescent sparkle in your eyes of piercing blue.
Those kisses of the butterfly, a gift to me, from you.
Sleigh-bell-giggle darling, yes I saw you on the wing -
the sweetest pressure of your arms, were wrapped around our King.

My precious loving daughter, skipping toward your heav’nly crown -
did your bright eyes peek back at me just ‘fore the mist came down?

The spiritual wind that holds survivors aloft, plants the seeds from which bloom new hope ... R.J.G.

Rosemary,
What a tender and inspiring write! Thank you for that.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

Marge told me I would enjoy what you write.
She was right again.
The page opened up and showed me your heart.

Rosemary, I too am dropping in after a very long absence and am delighted to find you (and your picture) here! I had forgotten that this is where I knew your name from before.

Your poem is a sweet, loving tribute...a wonderful way to remember your misty...thanks for sharing

The essence behind your words, soars in this beautiful piece.

Captivating, with non forced rhyming~ every description is placed perfectly

I adore this piece !
