Rose

My dearest Rose You came to me In infancy stage. I took you to my breast To give you nourishment Out of necessity of life. As I knew you would You took it willingly Of course, you should. I had three others Before you came Though I took you Just the same. When you looked Up at me with Those baby blues. I fell in love with you Though I love my own Children all the same. I wish you luck And happiness Throughout life!!!

It sounds as though you fostered a child. I am not sure. You have a lot to give and your words are gentle and true to yourself.

Smile ˜ Shall I speak from the depths of my sincerest heart when I say that I find sooo much love and beauty within this loving verse ˜ My Dear Precious & Beautiful Debbie * In my minds eye as in my heart I can envision this tiny priceless life ˜ Your tenderness and your love welcoming her as loving her ˜ Something that this emptying world could surely use sooo much more of ˜ Love last forever when its pure & true * I find this in Your beautiful words unto her heart ˜ This is what makes poetry beautiful * Songs such as this ˜ I Am going to favourite this treasure * Simply, because I love love * My Love to You, Always & Forever; John!:) ˜
