Her Self Portrait

she sat in the beautiful sunlight with deeper wishes in her eyes but her young heart dances to the sweeter song so she asked me to hold her hand till the darkness had passed now shes hot on the trail of true creation down to earth with all natural heartfelt ways bends me round her legendary smile and while writing a freehand verse of sunshines laughter she paints a lifesize version of tomorrow's beautiful sunrise into the eyes of her self portrait she is knee deep in the mud of inspiration the persistent sunshine of the soul lights her way the enduring hope of a hand held guides her path its beauty can be seen in her self portrait

The whole concept of the 'self portrait' in your poem really resonated with me. Kids get asked to do self portraits in preschool and Kindergarten. I loved the poem!
