Dreamer

Plumper- of- pillows Puller-tight-of-covers Chin-tucker She of the soft white hands Whisperer Sweet singer of lullabies Sand-sprinkler Keeper of the Xanadu Gardens Shaper scenter-of-flowers Now she goes on tiptoe Leaving the door open just a crack She's created a dream Then let everyone dream it with her HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Stacey

Oh I do love your loving Stacey poem. She has come into my heart, just as you have. Thanks for reading "Old Photograph" poem. Someday maybe we can talk about the whole story of her tragic life - like your mother, gorgeous. Mine could have been a movie star, but life didn't work for her. I decided early on no matter what it took, I would make mine work. Love, love

Awesome, creative poem with magical words, Daver. I especially like "Keeper of the Xanadu Gardens." I bet Stacey loved your tribute! Love, Carolyn

I love this delicately written poem. Ironically, I just wrote a rather bland poem on my lifelong insomnia (to clear my head) and clicked on this poem immediately after. So beautifully written. I wish I had this angel to quiet my mind and sprinkle sweet sleep sand upon me. Randy
