For My Child

Laughter bursting on the patio Kites lifted through summer air; A tenderness given by heaven My child, this is where love abides. Even as we play hide-and-seek, The affection can be profound As we watch each other grow In deeper meaning of sweet unity. Whether it be jar of marbles or tears Such moments hold us dearer; By simply recognizing this oneness Crowned by tinkerbell stars. Let's walk along the byways Your polka -dot blouse tugging mine With patches of cotton candy, My child, this is where happiness abides. Contest on Free Verse Sponsored by Regina Riddle 24th Sept 2014
