Brand New Star

I grew tired of my earthly bounds I answered those angelic sounds Don't grieve that I left you behind Precious child, sweet daughter of mine In my dreams He whispered so clear That my work was finished down here Ah, but my love for you was Divine Precious child, sweet daughter of mine I cherished you more than you know I knew you would flourish and grow I knew that my girls would be fine Precious child, sweet daughter of mine So rejoice and be glad I am where There's no pain or tears of despair Look up! Watch me shimmer and shine! Precious child, sweet daughter of mine *Written for my three daughters on the passing of their mother

oh tim, it just gets more heart wrenching...you have had a lot of loss in your life, it seems...repetitive poetry forms are another thing I'm not keen on, but you could just persuade me to change my mind with this...in fact, I'm thinking of having a future contest for repetitive forms like kyrielles...my current contest is DIRE, hardly any entries so far! enough said!! btw, I like internal rhyme, just not sing-songy end rhyme! and I like acrostics, but I don't find them easy to write!
