My Destiny - a Traditional Cinquain

.                                                       Daughter
                                                       My miracle
                                                  Separated at birth
                                          I was lost until you found me
                                                         Charlee

I had to see this one because it is the same title that I used in my entry for the river contest (an oldie of mine) anyway, this is so beautiful, and I seem to remember you telling me about our daughter in the past. LOVE it.

So touching, Lainie. Did this really happen? We often hear of children finding their mothers later in life -- it rings of truth. Wonderful triute to Charlee! Love, Carolyn
