Anna Hopper Poet Free verse

My Little Girl

The best of all of God's creations
Flipping through my radio stations 
Kisses when I'm feeling blue
The world revolves around me and you
You point out daily, how much you've grown
I react as though I hadn't known
But you can bet, I didn't fail to notice
Not one moment, have I missed
I study your face, memorizing the details
Capturing photos incase my memory fails
But I assure you, if I'm coherent
I'll remember time, together, spent
Shotgun rider in your car seat
Singing ABC's just a little off beat
Working through tangles, in the shower
Receiving a gift, the perfect flowers
Why do I ache and miss you so
While here I am, watching you grow
I've seen this scenario many times
You'll learn to color inside the lines
Then I'll buy you a car and off you'll go
I'll fake a smile and put on a show
Next will be a man to steal your heart
I already miss you, before we're apart

Emile Pinet October 30, 2015 at 1:17 PM The words are inviting and have a gentle and somewhat familiar pitch to help the reader release control over to the words and feel them within. I enjoyed the skillful manipulation by the author through her charisma to lead you to a inner plateau of awareness with her great use of imagery. Emile.

Robert Lindley October 28, 2015 at 7:24 PM Great, great poetry my friend!! Does so remind me of my daughter two decades ago. A7 Adding this gem to my fav list here. Thanks

CayCay Godwin October 27, 2015 at 2:18 PM I especially love, 'why do I ache and miss you so while I am here...' How well I remember and actually still know that feeling. Just beautiful and heartfelt, Anna. I think you would like my poem "Impossible", I believe it explains why we Mother's ache, at least a little bit. But, if want to keep a good mood, don't read, "Death not My Child" A joy to read and I'll check for other poems by you on the wee ones ... CayCay Anna Hopper October 27, 2015 at 9:33 PM I will definitely have to check out your work! ;)
