Blessing To My Daughter

I remember when my daughter was born, She had such an adorable face. She was the best companion ever, so I dragged her all over the place. She had the kindest spirit I’d ever known And courage like that of a lion. She was so smart that she breezed through School without ever really tryin’. Graced with looks, brains and personality, I knew that even the sky would be no limit. She could do whatever she wanted, and Choose her fate which ever way she’d spin-it. Now, my BabyGirl is married with a baby of her own. I ponder where the time went and how it is she’s grown. It’s more than empty nest syndrome, Now that she is gone. I’ve lost the best part of me, but I have to carry on. When I hear her sweet, sweet voice, Although it’s miles away, I proudly pretend my BabyGirl Is close to me that day. And when reality hits me as, Of course, it always does. I reminisce our days together and The way it always was. Then, I smile and cry simultaneously Because our time just didn’t last. And, I inwardly bless my daughter For every moment of our past.

My daughter is in Florida and I'm in Pa. I get the blues now and then but she's going to do okay. I love the sentiment in this one. Vince

Kimberely: I liked your poem and am pleased to see someone writing rhyming poetry. Your sentiment was beautiful. Will you forgive me, though, if I correct your grammar...it's a problem I have & I mean no offense, but the past-tense of the word DRAG is DRAGGED, not DRUG. :-) ***Danielle***
