Autumn's Child

Some shall strive against your child yet never to prevail... 
Not in this life nor evermore; for, I will be with you, sayest
The Lord of Host, both heaven as earth ? Skipping joyfully past 
Her daisies through love's meadow Genavieve holding, baby's hand
Whileas bluebirds glide amidst tangerine skies bittersweet his red robin
Sings, a noteful refrain ? Weeping willows, laughing at time's tales....
Ceramic soldiers draped of red white and blue; blowing kisses to her truth ?
Infants with their starry eyes climbing mountains they'll gaze while freedom
She rings resounding bells, about this valley below ? Majestic's, horse in pale's
Long suffering, to beckon these crimson winds waving goodbye her four corners..
A spindrift it's mist; beauty, crossing celestials new found tides ? His girl's brushing
Life's golden locks from her rosebud cheeks and he; dashing past dreams they breathe.

I like how you bring this poem together near the end. You never cease to amaze me with your lovely way of writing verse. You are a beautiful man that I admire so much and it's nice to be on a friendly basis with you, gee, we've never had this... haha. It's just really nice John to get off work and sign in and see you there in the com. box. It always makes my day that much brighter. I'm going to take a nap &get up later. I have 3 days off work/an assignment due tues. & can't get in the groove of it. Love, Lucinda
