Sweet Daughter of Mine

So beautiful, lovely and sweet from shiny hair, to dainty feet; Your pretty smile and innocence rivals the moon’s incandescence. I treasure times when we can feast on storybooks, bored not the least; At tea, content with lemonade, and cookies topped with marmalade. Daughter of mine, eyes full of mirth, my heart sings praises for your birth. *inspired by Eve's painting and a letter I made for my daughter around 5 years ago. 16 November 2015 Kim Patrice Nunez Oil Painting Contest - 2nd Place sponsor: Eve Roper

A mother-daughter relationship is precious, sometimes rowdy when independence grows but always precious. My favorite time with my girls was reading together -- now grown we still discuss a "good" book or poem!! Big Texas Hug and keep on lovin on her!

Very well put together. This is fun to read. You express your ideas with nobility. We also know that having children is at times difficult and a sacrifice, but this is all good. A loving mom.

Beautiful, Kim! And I can completely relate. "I treasure times when we can feast "on storybooks, bored not the least" - Love that line the most as that is what my daughter and I do, as well!
