Within my heart you’re still that little one Who needed me each step along the way From golden dawns through settings of the sun From lullabies to toddler lost in play From learning ABC’s to feisty teen Asserting independence, stretching wings To soar, discovering before unseen Horizons in the distance beckoning My fledgling from the safety of the nest Fulfilling destiny but how I long Again to wrap you in protectiveness, To shield you from the bad, the sad, the wrong. The shape of you is etched indelibly Upon this mother’s soul eternally. ~ To my daughters, Caroline and Trisha, with love. [This message has been edited by Denise (02-09-2003 03:10 PM).] |

Passing Shadows, thank you, I'm glad it touched you! Ethel, thank you, I'm glad you thought it was beautiful! Pat, thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it! Nan, well now you know I take that as a high compliment, and I knew you would be able to relate. Neeraja, *sigh* yes they do, way too fast. I'm glad you found it touching! Loner, thanks so much! Seymour, thank you for a bouquet of a reply! I'm glad you thought it was wonderful! Margherita, no we never do, do we? Thanks for your lovely reply! Elizabeth, to touch your poetic heart deeply is a compliment indeed! I'm glad you love my sonnets and encourage me to keep trying! |
