5325 Martie's Child 21 April 2006 Across the garden as a rose to a flower Her name was Martie and she was best dressed A dandelion to the wind each one, many a cede Like that in variegation her path in fortune to read Happiness a daisy to pluck "she loves me" or was that not Untangled in ways of child a daughter raised in tiny tot Heaven her angel borne calling back to Mommy on high There was no answer, there was truth there was love, and there was why “By pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, . . . , by love unfeigned,” 2 Corinthians 6: 6 KJV © 2006 Christopher W Herbert (a New Zealand Poet) a poet who cares |

A wonderful, touching tribute to mother and child. Thank you, Sir. It is good to read once, twice, thrice. |

The poem was extensive in its emotional narrative. A joy to read the examination of the mothers response. |
