She’s not yet a teen but bigger than a bean
and sweeter than Skittles can be.
She dances around like a princess unbound
and means the world to me.
She’s a little erratic and sometimes gives static
to her mother and father, I know,
but when in my sight, an effervescent delight
and pure as a soft winter snow.
The girl is a vessel, a pistil, a petal,
as if born from a vintage rose,
a little Aphrodite while often times flighty
and a queen who doesn’t yet know.
What a shining star she is by far
and will remain my endearing, joyful child,
inside my heart, my head, and mind
with her rejuvenating smile.
I pray someday she reads this page
and remembers me all too well,
as one who smiled because of her
kind heart and magic spell.
No cowboy with no hat
No this with no that
No cold with no hot
No baby with no cot
No Kardashian with no Jenner
No Indian with no henna
No school with no kid
No box with no lid
No cloud with no rain
No lion with no mane
No girl with no boy
No Gabriella with no Troy
No sky with no blue
No me with no you
Your beauty, Gabriella
Tremors my innocent soul.
Are you Angel Gabriella?
Do you have special word from above?
But I am not the Virgin.
Joseph the Carpenter I am not
Spare me from sin, spare me!
I hear Lord’s voice calling;
“Come, hurry, divine duty awaits.”
Let me enjoy your crescendo voice
That I may be holy too. Talk to me.
No cowboy with no hat,
No this with no that.
No cold with no hot,
No baby with no cot.
No Kardashian with no Jenner,
No Asian with no henna.
No school with no kid,
No box with no lid.
No cloud with no rain,
No lion with no mane.
No girl with no boy,
No Gabriella with no Troy.
No sky with no blue,
No me with no you.
Godchildren bring such ease-
Gleeful smiles make my soul
glimmer with delightful
gratitude- I watch her
gracefully bring me hope
giving me peace of mind-
Gabriella, my niece

Sun run red across the sky
As the golden ore fadeth in the twilight
The earth was clothed in a cloak of dye
As bright stars ushered in the limelight
The tress then chants a song and thus pray
They swayed their heads gently and whispered
When the morning chased the night away
Their voices whispered and heralded
“Daddy’s precious Cinderella
More fairer than Gabriella
Bring in His precious Elite
Draped in cloth none compete
The Elite is Daddy’s only delight
She is among many her favorite fruit
Alive with color and full of light
Prepared as a bride in a frock cute
Daddy in the morning issues an invitation
To His Elite and gracious bride
“Yea! Thou art the bridegroom’s adoration
His Glory, complement and pride
So worthy my Son to be thy bridegroom
Make haste my Elite, the groom is come already
Bring in my Elite into the groom’s refined room
Love the groom and be thou steady”.
When I found out I was pregnant with
you I knew you would be a girl.
When you cam out of me, you looked
so beautiful.
We decided to name you Gabriella
to go with your beauty.
Those big blue eyes, long eyelashes,
and the blond hair.
Your just so irristiable.
You look like your dad, all except for
your lips.
As you got older you got pritter.
Your laugh is so amazing.
You and your brother are so perfect
in every way possible.
Your the prettiest little girl I'v ever seen
and always will be.
I'm proud to call you my daughter.
Five people in three years,
all by their own hand.
Never knowing the pain they caused.
Never knowing the aftermath.
All were loved.
All are missed.
But they will never come back.
Only in our memories
can they live gain.
Tears were shed,
tears till flow.
For the five people in three years
all by their own hand.
dedicated in memory to--

Gabriella Volta
God decided to take you before I got to spend any time with you
I wanted to at least be able to hold and kiss on you during your life time
But before I got to lay eyes on your beautiful little face
He took you away to an Angelic place
He took you to heaven for you to stay
And that is where you will always remain
A very cruel man hurt me just so he could take your precious life
And now my heart will forever be filled with this permanent strife
I know that you will never be here with me
And that you are in Heaven with our Heavenly Father
That helps my heart ache just a little
But nothing will ever take away the piece of my heart that I buried with you
My Dear Gabriella Diane Courtright, I Love You!
And you will always be My Beautiful Little Angel!
I have wrote this poem for my precious baby girl that I had to bury exactly one month
ago today. I would gladly trade places with my daughter Gabriella right now. I wish
that cruel man would have let me carry you to term that way you could have kept the
Spirit that You and I share Alive.
Your Loving Mother,
Tracy Diane Vilardo
