Taylor Harris Poet Free verse

Daughters

Moon lit skys 
And ferris wheel rides
This was the time of her life

Just a little girl
With a cute smile that glowed like pearl
With waves of blonde hair that loved to curl

Again, agian, she would plead
To ride upon her minuter stead
Around in a circle the man would lead

Every year it was the same
Until time would be ashamed
And all to blame

Now she looks at her little girl
Who has that same smile of pearl 
With her hair that stays curled

Its off to the races
And all the long lost faces
As she ties her little girls shoe laces

She smiled so brilliant
But some how redundant
She remembered

Those moonlit skys 
And hidden alibis
And the time of her life

Michael Jordan August 12, 2008 at 1:05 AM You have truly captured the essence of a child here - As my younger daughter grows I try so hard to be a positive part of her life and it feels great - I sure had a template of what not to do because I failed my other children drastically - I totally enjoyed your wonderful poem - God Bless
