Daughter Number Four

November of sixty, we took the same name. We had a son and two daughters right away. Nine years later, daughter three came... A joy to us all every day We are proud of all of them, of course. They are grown, families of their own. They have been our life and source, of true happiness, on and on. Our fourth daughter married our son. She is exquisitely exact in every way, concerning her work, home, family and fun. She revels in life every day. She is intentional in each mode of life and performs each with excellent skill. She loves working, being a mom, and wife and tubing down a snow covered hill. We all love her and claim her our own. She rewards me with ginger bread men The seeds of family have been sown. Nurtured and grown........not worn thin. © Apr 20 2010

Hey, there! I just logged on and saw this poem listed at the top of the all new poems. This is a sweet description of daughter #4; I imagine she would be pleased to see this poem. Signed, #1. (I'm glad I didn't have to call myself "#2"! ...just being silly)

It's great that you see "Daughter Number Four" the same way you feel about your other daughters, Charles. Sounds like you have a very loving family. Very nice poem. Hope you show it to #4. Love, Carolyn
