Artist Eve Roper  painted 8/2014

skies of rainbow blue as ocean moves girl’s sassy swirls of soft tangled hair, where pearls would dare clasp its curls glow in her eyes special gentle blue waves flow of tear drops buckets full beautiful mud stain blush cheeks Oh, such a handful only three feet high arms full of endless hugs and pretty please barefooted, dirty, and grass stain knees while magpie explores the world never to say good-bye double bubbles scents of lavender berries pink and blue little ponies warm and cozy PJs night promise dreams of fairies, flowering ponds, bunnies, and butterflies over and over stories whispers lullabies hums sleep little angel in clouds full of stars wishes of rainbow bridges to the moon fairyland castles held by balloons where little ponies play musical tunes yesterday’s gardens today and tomorrow fairies glimmer flittering amongst its blooms enchanting flavors of snow cones, bubblegum and cherry plums unicorns, maidens, and gnomes chuckles sleep till morning when you rise to endless hugs and pretty please explore the world never to say good-bye 2/2/2016

A doting grandmother? It's wonderful the way children can lead us back to those magical places Eve. Such a lovely nostalgic trip you have brought us on.

What a delight it was to read this, Eve. Who could help but love the little girl you described? Looking back at my own childhood, I can relate to her in many ways. Charming!
