For my two daughters nineteen and twenty-two years old. They have taught me so much and have made me a better man. I use to tell them when they were young "If I asked heaven for two perfect daughters they would not have even near as amazing as you"! I love my daughters with every pore of my body. I am blessed!

I learnt a long time ago.....art depends on how the person
experiencing your work perceives it...........so please don't
get upset...........how someone............judges your poetry
it is but the perception of one person..........a singular look
how one person looks at what you wrote....... .....when my
daughter...when my daughter was five........only five years
old...she built me....... .......a poem..........that is what she
told me.."daddy I built you a pome".....I can tell you it is to
this day the best poem I have ever read.....better than any
of the masters...........better than any famous modern poet
even Shakespeare....could not compete...... ....with a poem
written......by a five year old girl.............I will share it with
you now...you may or may not agree with me........that it is
the best poem you ever read......the poem my five year old
daughter built for me is this..."daddy i love you so so much"
...she even included an internal rhyme..."so"with "so"and to
this very day...........it is the best poem.....I have ever read
so you see....art is subjective....it lives based on perception

There is nothing more touching or endearing than that of a Soul that places its trust in you unconditionally and without question. No one person could ever be accorded a higher tribute than when carrying this sacred trust entrusted unto their care. Stay safe, Armand, my friend...stay safe. My warmest regards...always. :) john

That is one beautiful poem your five year old daughter wrote to you! And yours...to honor her...and to also offer a bit of wisdom... is just as beautiful! I don't get here as often as I would like...but when I do...I always look your name up and read what you have here. I enjoy the way you write. Thank you.

I am moved by this touching write of yours, Armand. I still keep all the bits and pieces that my daughter gave me when she was very young. And, yes, we must not take judgment too seriously for tastes vary. #7 // paul

You are absolutely right, Armand. How can we judge what each of us feels and loves in our own hearts? Everyone of us is unique, therefore our idea of what is best will differ. We have no right to argue with personal opinion... I loved your genuine expressions here, and what you think is best, is okay with me! A beautiful write, Armand!

CUTE CUTE CUTE, Armand. And PRECIOUS. you have to be one very adorable daddy to inspire this in your daughter. In contrast, my poor granddaughters do not enjoy their daddy very much. They are afraid of him because he just yells at them to be quiet all the time. it is sad when you know your daughter is married to a guy whose own kids do not feel for him the way your daughters feel for you, ARmand.

How beautiful it is the heart of a child,how pure,how beautiful it is when someone we love says Iove you so so much,how difficult for grownups many a time to say and write such words..What can be more beautiful than the love of our children on paper.Im favouring your girl's poem today,dont be upset : )
