Daughters Bring

Bells, that ring Birds, who sing Butterflies, on the wing Clothes, too short, too cling Songs, I would not sing I don't know, what's that thing A phone, that never stops its ring Going to school, to hear them sing Kisses, for that sore bee sting On the car, a new ding When their sad, they need to cling Soon enough, up they spring Full of life, off they zing New boy-friends, home they bring Soon I know, there may be, a ring A wedding after, perhaps in spring Hoping, it's, a far off thing Kisses and hugs, for me, the king These are the treasures, that Daughters bring

Oh wow this is very hard to do. To be able to write time in rhyme is really tough. You make it look so easy. I have done this before. Its harder than it looks to tell a story all the way through.
