[hometext] => This will always make me cry...
To my daughter for a life's lesson well learned... [bodytext] => The lovely old grumpy lady Who lives across the lane Shows nothing but a fearful scoul Beware to all things small The precious tiny rascally child Who lives inside my home Looks to her with smiles abroad Wonder to all things large She pranced into her yard one day A queen with a gleam in her eye She picked a rose and there I stood Preparing for the worst That trifle move my daughter made Brought tears upon her face She came to me with child in tow With just one thing to say The single rose she watched from birth Contained a single soul She sat and nursed it from a bud Each day it's beauty grew That lost soul once contained a life A sinless, cherished child Til the day that it consumed her That sickness that took her life She'd kept that rose so perfect and pure To place upon her grave The three of us sat crying Emotions all but sank And then my treasured daughter Blew the both of us away She said she had sister Of whom she never knew And wondered if it'd be ok For her to keep the bloom She'd keep it in some water She wouldn't let it die She looked up to those scouly eyes Where the tears were streaming down She said "I know your lonely" "Mary can I be your friend?" I saw her the other day Out working in her yard The scouly look burned on face The memories of that day scarred From up the street my daughter peered Riding on her bike And as she passed by Mary's house I saw a little smile...

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
