Little Girl Grown

little girl you have grown,

little girl you have changed,

little girl you have new fads,

little girl you are still bringing smiles,

little girl don't ever change

little girl you still melt my heart

little girl you have grown,

little girl I wish you a most

happy birthday, from

your papa.  

wrote 3-30-11

for my Grand daughter Erika Foulk who will turn 12  on 3-31-11

a great poem, it is why we have blessings, I have three daughters and I know that they are gift from Our Father' This poem I liked because I can relate to it, and as poets when we connect with our works with our colleagues in the art we accomplish something. God bless and deep on soing your thing you are very good.

I'm so glad Erika had a happy birthday, James. Thanks for letting me know and for your comment on the raccoon poem. You can't blame Shep for what he did to the baby raccoon. It's just the nature of animals. Have a wonderful weekend! Best wishes, Carolyn

Wonderful dedication, dear James. Erika is so fortunate to have a wonderful papa like you. I had 2 very special Grandfathers, whom I have written of here on poetry soup. Great mentors to me as I am sure you are to Erika. The Love of a Gentleman was one poem and the other was, Frosted Panes. My best wishes go out to you and Erika for a very Happy Birthday celebrations. Lainie
