For my daughter, Chelsea,
who sits beneath a tree
with pen and spiral notebook
journaling away as I did
at her age.

Journaling Journeys

Mama sweeps back
drab dreary drapes,
revealing living
picture window
of bygones

Mature eyes
capture memories of
journaling journeys

Snapshots of
sweet blonde, blue-eyed crushes
pink lipstick glow blushes
bosom buddys' secrets
di’ried unregrets

She sees herself,
beneath swallow
of willow’s pillow,
protected from
summer’s simmer
breathing her life
in crisp autumnal leaflets

A youthful smile
returns
in knowing

Acorns still beget Acorns

Like mother, like daughter

How sweet,and precious is this! Wow that just blessed my socks off just seeing these images. What a precious sight, and the knowing of the things you leave behind give her the same things to express her inner being. What a sweet tribute to your daughter and the Heritage you have left to her. Beautiful!

for the two of you!!

Lovely!

"Like mother, like daughter"--indeed!--and that is a beautiful thing. The acorn certainly did not fall far from the tree.

An especially touching poem.

Love & blessings to both you and Chelsea.
