the softness or her voice and tender tone brought to my mind the happiness I'd known an angel could not sing with finer grace and there before my eyes I saw her face my daughter's song released a flood of tears I thought, how good that in her tender years she shares her gift and beautifies my life at such a time when sad thoughts are so rife I've struggled long to stay right by her side to be a strong support, to be her guide And though at times I tried to slip away The though she needed me caused me to stay She bloomed into a beauty, strong and free and should death come for me, in peace I'll be Eileen Manassian

Good Morning Eileen. What a beautiful sonnet with a marvelous theme to match. You are a proud mother. If the image is of your daughter she is beautiful. Be proud of this entry and of your execution. Well done completely.

deep, this poem touched my heart with every line, I truly feel all the words, I lost my youngest daughter about 8 weeks ago, she was only 20 and just two week shy of being 21, anyway such a wonderful read, Jeffrey

3rd stanza, last line: thought not though (typo gotcha') You know I have a son. I relate and find strength as a Mother from your words. I am not there yet but take heart from this emotional write that I may well get there. I love your pen, I do - you stir my emotions, deep in my heart, every time I visit. Blessings upon you, dear one ... CayCay

I can see why you are so proud of her. She is both talented and beautiful. She needs you to be here for many many years. Together you have more incredible wonderful moments to look forward to.

Oh I just listened to her songs Eileen...She has such a beautiful voice. You should use the new feature and attach a link to the song on soundcloud. I can only imagine how proud you must feel : ))

Tim...I'm overwhelmed. She does have a lovely voice, doesn't she? I just wish she would record more often. I actually went on Sound Cloud to try to do some recordings myself, and then I was reminded of her songs....Then I got sidetracked! ;) I don't know how it all works...I read the blog. I'm actually in the editing process of poetry videos I've done for Youtube. So...we'll see how things go. I'll keep you in the know. Hugs

That is all a parent wants is to know that have succeeded in raising a child that will flourish on their own in this world. Wanting to be there to see those accomplishments is so so special.

Yes, for me there is a deep sense of peace knowing that she will be alright in this cruel world. I thank God she isn't as fragile as I am. She has her father's strength....a lovely mix of our two differing characters. Thank you, Mark. I enjoyed this visit. Blessings.
