Notes About The Poem

Gems of Love

Bright stars shine in night skies
Like bangles, baubles and beads
Puts a twinkle in every girl's eyes
Like a gift of fine jewelry

A pair of sun stone earrings
Presented to the daughter I love
Some expensive fatherly bling
The price for her, one hug

Red copper reflecting inclusions
Dark middles fade to light edges
An adventurine feldspar illusion
Perfect for eternal love pledges

Turquoise blue or teal green schiller
Either one is an eye to heart thriller

If it's a daughter, son , or grandchild you want to spoil that is just the love that is inside the person that is giving.... Hug Eve

Kids are meant to be spoiled, it's the price we pay for fooling around. :)

Thank you, Jan. Yes, I know for a fact she wears them quite a bit. I appreciate your kind comments. How are your eyes? You feeling OK? Did you get your hearing aid? Hoping all is well with you.

Aww, Daniel this is such a heartfelt write. There's nothing like a father's love. It's something us girls hold deep in our hearts. It is evident how much you love your daughter in this piece. Yes she adores the jewelry but it doesn't come close to the one that "gave " them to her. I wish you the best of luck in the contest. A undeniable SEVEN: -) Alexis
