Robert Lindley Poet Sonnet

Notes About The Poem

Old Note- I have written this sitting on the beach here in Florida, Kashaundra our daughter 4 years old, wades a nearby clear shallow stream flowing into beautiful white sand with golden sunshine gleaming off her gold-blonde hair.
Inspiring this, my dearest wish of her bright future and happiness.

New Note- Well, life has now brought her tremendous joy and happiness now with her husband and two young boys and her career. A blessing which covers both her and me..

As This Nature Child Wades Clear Earthen Streams

As This Nature Child Wades Clear Earthen Streams

On her island, precious paradise thrives
Trees hang, laden with large delicious fruit
Bees with no sting, fill up huge honey hives
Nightly stars seen falling, romance they shoot

There majestic songbirds sing her to sleep
Cool breeze flowing across her soft silk bed
Dreams visit with joy and peace truly deep
Her guarding angels flying overhead.

Every dawn perfect weather brings sunshine
Gentle waves wash upon shore, sand and beach
She strolling, finding her life well and fine
All her treasures found within easy reach.

Paradise, exists in her hopeful dreams.
As this Nature child wades clear earthen streams.

Joanna Daniel July 10, 2017 at 8:21 AM Children bring joy to parents, as you have beautifully captured in your sonnet:)

Daniel Turner July 7, 2017 at 8:52 AM Great sonnet Robert. We all want nothing but happiness for out children:) Robert Lindley July 7, 2017 at 9:06 AM Thank you Daniel. So true, if my daughter is happy that naturally flows over into my life and joy of living increases. Who would not pray for their beloved children's happiness? And not be overjoyed when that prayer is answered?

Chris Green July 7, 2017 at 7:47 AM This was beautiful and heart touching my friend. There is nothing more beautiful than your child and nothing more wished for than complete happiness for them. Such a wonderfully written piece. Robert Lindley July 7, 2017 at 9:03 AM Thank you my friend. Always appreciate your kind comments and readings of my poems.
