Notes About The Poem

My little niece, Pearl, is turning two next week, so this is for her-

A Poem For Pearl

May you fall, so you may rise
May your horizons surpass your skies
May your future fill your eyes
May you make mistakes that make you wise
May your laughs outnumber your cries
May you wear your beauty, undisguised
May you stumble, so you may sympathize
May love take you by surprise
May you catch the light of fireflies
May your dreams flower to full size
May you hear your song - and harmonize.

Maybe have her picture at the top, or a picture of you holding her??.......well done my friend........pat Michelle Faulkner October 13, 2018 at 4:05 PM Don't quite have the technical savvy to add a picture of her, but I will probably put it in a frame for them-
