The Heart and the Flamingo

I saw a heart on a Large pink to scarlet web-footed wading bird with down-bent bill, The heart was pink and so very hard to see, but I knew it was there, Because it was in my little Minnie’s smile. Her favorite long sleeved shirts have hearts on them, Underneath she wears a short-sleeved cotton one; for comfort, Today's undershirt had the wading bird on it! 4 years old, happy with her Heart and Flamingo and Playful smile. ©david byrne Jan 2021

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

A lovely tribute to your daughter David, the memories you make will be priceless, all my three daughters have flown the nest but I often think back to those happy days when they were toddlers. Tom
