Poem Title:
Poem
For the Gerber Baby Contest ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I knew God loved me on the day He entrusted me with my daughters’ soul The most important job to ever come my way The greatest gift I would ever behold Lost in thought, I’m mesmerised by the image before me Laura is my babe, so precious A moment frozen in time, Laura was three Her giggles brought joy…so infectious A face…round, smooth, creamy complexion Big brown almond shaped eyes with power to beguile A nose so pert, so cute, utter perfection Rosy red lips always upturned in a smile Long blonde hair, curls in abundance Reminiscent of Rumpelstiltskin’s spun gold thread My very own Angel gives my life sustenance Intertwined delicately, the gold flecks spread This photo stirs up love, so strong, so pure A joyous heart, a joyous mind, my heart overflowing The love of a mother and child, there is no truer And now the touch and the embrace of my daughter I’m craving. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ My name is Juanita and I used a photo of my gorgeous (once) baby girl, when she was around 3-4 (now 17). Her perfect featured face and long blonde curly hair that framed her angelic features...one of my favourite pics. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ©copyright Juanita Torr ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
