Anna Hopper Poet Free verse

I See Her Father In Her Eyes

I see her father in her eyes
A petite replica of me
My little doll, I idolize
But, her daddy, I do see

My darling, little, sassy pants
A heartbeat in sync with mine
Passionate for song and dance
And the flow of poet's rhyme

A gentle hand to all God's creatures
A spirit, wild and free
But, though she has my favorite features
She's so much more than me

I see her father in her eyes
When her natural agility shows
Her talents are a true surprise
This is how I know

A problem solving, fancy face
Doing cartwheels in stride
Making use of given space
Despite the bumpy ride

She's all I ever hoped to be
I'm so proud to be her mother
I accept my role, gracefully
My purpose, I discover

I see her father in her eyes
And it makes me ever so glad
Equipped with skills to improvise 
She reminds me of her dad

Russell Sivey August 31, 2017 at 6:14 PM Oh, Russell wants to say something, "This is wonderful Anna my friend. You ave written such a beautiful write about your daughter. My daughter just brought me flowers today! A bunch of roses...white! I love them. I love my daughter too. She does have my eyes, a pretty brown, but hers are much prettier. Your poem is pretty too, brought me such a smile this evening. What a fabulous and grandiose piece, great work." Anna Hopper August 31, 2017 at 7:28 PM You are so kind. It brings me to tears to think of you struggling right now. It sounds like you have an amazing support system! That puts a smile on my face thus evening!

Russell Sivey August 31, 2017 at 6:09 PM Hello Anna, this reminded me of our daughter Abigail, she has so much of her father in her, the intelligence she certainly got from him, and she likes to write, sometimes writes poems. They are good too. I told her of this site that Russell likes but she says she can't get on a site where he Dad is! But she does have her father's eyes an some facial features, but she was unlucky and got my breasts. She is in college at Ohio State, and we are so proud of her. You will always have her with you! Emma Anna Hopper August 31, 2017 at 7:26 PM Oh this is wonderful to hear! If it weren't for my children, I believe I would run out of inspiration for writing anything at all. I am so glad you are keeping his spirits up!
