Christy Stover Poet Rhyme

Sweet Felicity

(For my daughter but dedicated to all the kids getting bullied in school and losing their self-esteem). 

dear sweet Felicity
my smart beautiful daughter
in every way you're lovely
I'm proud to be your mother
    tell Mommy your sorrows
    tell Mommy your fears
    you'll see how my love grows
    and I'll kiss away your tears
right now school is tough
I know you feel left out
making friends is rough
but never ever doubt
    that you're a beautiful star
    your spirit shines so bright
    someday they'll see how special you are
    and come running to your light
dear sweet Felicity
never ever lose your hope
Mommy and Jesus love you, you see
and we will help you cope
    my dear sweet Felicity
    my strong and beautiful daughter
    in every way you're lovely
    I'm so proud to be your mother

Cheryl Hoffman November 9, 2016 at 7:57 PM This very thought provoking & insightful poem touched my heart Christy; no one, let alone your sweet child, should have to endure bullying of any kind! I'm sure having a wonderful Mom like you she will pull through and be a stronger person for it~God bless you both~Che Christy Stover November 10, 2016 at 10:45 AM Thank you for your sweet comment, Cheryl. God bless you and yours as well.

Chris Green November 9, 2016 at 1:16 PM You know Christy, this breaks my heart, to think that any child, let alone your beautiful daughter is being bullied at school. I know it happens, I know all too well but it truly saddens me each and every time I hear about it. Keep telling her you love her, wrap her tight in your arms and let her know how perfect she is. Your poem was beautiful, sad and touched me deeply. Christy Stover November 9, 2016 at 1:48 PM Thank you, Chris, for your kind comment. You're right, no child should experience that. I went through it in school so I know how deeply it can scar. I've seen a lot of poems on here from depressed teens/tweens. I hope to use poetry to give them some hope.
