Need to write desire remain 
Hush thoughts_words go away
Come later now detain
Karter has come to play

Dark gray sad clouds veil sky and earth
Karter's sunsine saves day
Only the Savior knows his worth
Let me show him today

The storms brought rain saturating
Star Magnolia's fine blooms.
Their beauty seemed gone, deflating
Hopes, but Karter came soon.

His sunshine opened and dried blooms
Bright their smile for this child
He wisked away all the damp gloom
Go away thoughts play awhile

Still in the penning stage?Finis, yes!

Hello Sara, These words echo giggles and laughter, shine with eyes reflecting sunshine, Things we embrace when children enter our life spaces. Thank you for share this delightful look in your heart, Wordancer

Dear Sara, Thank you for your kind comment on my easter poem. Am busy getting my Easter Poems book finished [edited] for this Easter. I enjoyed your Hush Thoughts - I think this Karter must be your grandchild. I have 4 but they live in another state, so I don't get to see them very often. God bess, Maureen
