A Sea of Love

Swimming in tears of glee birth from water - my child I hold. Gently, carefully I cut her free. The skies open, rain streams of gold. In tears of glee my child I hold. Her mother immersed snugly  displays a glow. She flows, radiates. I hand her our daughter our baby. A sea of love opens the flood gates. Our daughter our baby she flows, radiates. Fluid are the feelings now fill me, rushes through me like a lifeline. We three, are now a family, like rivers to the ocean, we combine. Feelings now fill me, we combine. 01~22~2015 Sponsor: Craig Cornish Contest: Manassian Quintain

wow, you did an amazing job with this challenge. I see you used people and symbolism with water such as I did with mine. I really enjoyed how you did your entry, ARmand. This poetry form is really nice, isn't it? I can't say I have seen one bad poem in this contest. Bet your does very well. You are sure busy with poetry lately. and you seem to be waxing nostalgic about your daughters. What an amazing dad you are!
