Darling Child

Andrea Dietrich’s Tritina Contest



May your life hold memories as treasures compiled.
I hope each day favors your smile with cause to show.
Remember, though grown, you remain my darling child.

Light will reconcile any darkness for you, dear child.
At times, troubles will rumble until firmly compiled.
Solutions as seeds will grow until they fully show.

Life is not a looped 'happy ending' show.
Be brave, strengthen faith and embrace joy, child.
A good life depends on beliefs compiled.

When beliefs are faith compiled, joy will show, sweet child.

I did, for at least an hour rousing my pep's collective curiosity. Even my cat looked at me sideways. (probably because I can't sing in tune.) I'm so glad you visited me. Think of you a lot. CayCay

You're right CayCay even as grown ups they'll always be your children. Lovely tribute. Good luck in the contest. Tom 🌹
