My Daughter

One can have money, riches and diamond rings. Searching in stores for resplendent things~ But a loyal and loving daughter cannot be bought. She's God's gift to me, that I never sought. When friends and family leave, She knows how fully I grieve! A knock on the door I do not expect, There she stands with a special gift. Her endless and enduring love I don't deserve. Nor her constant friendship like a bubbling brook. Her brown eyes and sparkling smile, Enable me to walk all lonely miles. She is in my heart, she is my child!

Paul, she is a gem like no other. She came by today, Took out my trash and made breakfast! Cool, yes? She forever has my back! Thanks for reminding me of my second poem. I think I had six POTDs do far. I rarely am in contests. Panagiota xx

A GrEaT poem, Mr. Iota! I truly can relate because I have an only child, a beautiful adult daughter which God blessed me with. Love and peace always.

Hi Freddie! We both each have only daughters who are adults. I agree how great that is! I am glad you looked at some of my older poetry. It's crazy to write new ones all the time. Even I cannot recall my older Poetry. Not all are good. This was one of the best. Thank you for visiting, PR

Panagiota, I loved this poem - children are a blessing, and always in our heart - we have two sons and they are our pride and joy, but step back a little now as the one has a wife and the other a wife to be. So our love is in measured doses, I would hate to annoy them and be that mother in law, so friends with the girls, but I would die if need be for our sons. A wonderful poem - beautifully penned. Poetry hugs, Jennifer.

Jennifer~ golly! Thank you. You know there are lines.)) I have read other poetry here about children. I don't have any sons. Wish I did! Daughter and I are like friends, confidantes and sisters. We do allow space for one another's lives. I am older now, so she has been like a mother to me. She extends her love to so many well beyond her own marriage. You would like her! Panagiota

We didn't want children but fate intervened and in a night of unprotected passion our Kim was conceived. She is 50 tears old now and looks like 18. All you wrote about your daughter is exactly what we feel about her. Your poems touch my heart and aoul. On through your writings I am going to scroll.

Janet..our daughters are one year apart in age. I am so glad my writing touched you. At times, I think, maybe I touch no one. You inspire me to keep going! Thank you. And thanks to others who do too. Blessings to you and your daughter.Don't tell anyone. I think she's an angel..arrived on this earth to save my life. Which is literally true. Panagiota

Greetings Darlene, Husbands cheating happens to a lot of us. That does not make it OK. I feel your pain as I went through the same thing. Be well, Darlene! Panagiota

Hello Panagiota, it is nice to have a mother and daughter relationship. I do not have children, I married late in life. Now a widow for 2 years. Have a nice day my friend.

Yes, Darlene. A great relationship between a Mom and Daughter is fantastic. As you know, this is not true in all such relationships. It's something we both work on and very well worth it. We are very close, Panagiota

Panagiota Romios, before my husband passed, he told me not to remarry. I feel he had no right to tell me this. Because I wnat to do that one day when i meet someone to trust. Some widows do remarry. I was number 3 wife,

There was 16 years differences in our age ,it did not bother us. We got along very well. It took me a long time to heal from his loss,On our last travel he cheated on me, I do not know why. If he was healthy,, I would have ldft him.

Dear Darlene, my heart knows the loss of a husband. I, too am a widow but for many more years than you. He died when he was forty and I never remarried. Children really are a gift from God. So are people like you.Unafraid to be themselves!! Thank you for sharing yourself so openly.I appreciate it profoundly, Blessings from~ Panagiota
