My Daughter of Time

My Daughter of time My daughter of 1989 The face that etches in mine Can you not see my pain Plastered on my sleeve Why have you turned from mine The time capsule so rare Love define in our hearts Forgotten on some hill Please turn back 1989 Being there I am secure Endure the emotion of play Please turn back and stay My Daughter of 1989 Athena Charlotte

This is so sweet and also sad to read, you conveyed your emotions well with the passage of time. With time comes the inevitable unknowns. I loved reading it and wish you the best, and congrats :) on being featured this week. It was well-deserved. Love, Amy

Beautifully sad poem. I never thought that free verse could make so much sense and be so poignant at the same time. I sometimes have a hard time with understanding free verse; but this is awesome!
