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

Hello BJ, I really enjoyed reading your "Me and you in the canoe" Beautiful descriptive scenery. I loved the nodding flowers and could imagine those floating petals beside the canoe. It sounds heavenly :-) Cheers Anne

Would like to read the poem you referenced in my poem be yourself. What's the title? Enjoy your weekend.

It may be rather cloaked as poems often are when we write them, but the poem is 'In Their Innocence'. I hope you have a wonderful week-end too Rama! <3

Thank you Gershon, I'm so glad you like the poem, your kind words bless my heart. 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. She is a blessing, it was fun to write this poem.

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
