Me and You In the Canoe

Come, let's build a canoe,
We'll float away
just me and you 
We'll float down stream
Upon the water,
Flickers of light
In our hair
My daughter
My little daughter
A poet too
An artist
May our dreams
Come true!
Floating along,
The streams 
sweet song
Of voices of
forever long
Petals floating
beside the canoe
Many poets
Sailed here once too
We watch as we
float past the trees
Redwoods vast
and meadows green
Embracing life
In joy serene
Nodding flowers
watch
The meandering stream
And me
and you
In our
Canoe

It has often been that way, watching my sweet daughter pick up a pen and write from her heart. It really is a sweet ride along the stream with this precious young bubbling soul.

Vijay Pandit Date: 6/30/2021 5:36:00 AM Much joy emanates from your words. Loved the happy tone of your poem, BJ. Login to Reply Bj Legros Kelley Date: 7/2/2021 12:41:00 PM Thank you Vijay, I'm glad you liked it. My daughter brings a lot of joy to me and it is exciting to see her penning poems, and enjoying nature! She is a budding artist that makes beauty from the most unsuspecting little pieces of rocks, sticks, etc and creates beautiful art. Now she is crafting poetry with her words and beautiful mind. She is a dream come true <3
