Blonde locks drape rosy, cherub cheeks
Delicate lips part for breath and
Her smile warms the ages
Eyes blink and bat in an even cadence
Dainty fingers drip with the juice of too tart apples
Tips of toes peek out of white, tight sandals
Her tender laugh marks her delight in being
Innocence avails her and
Time would best be served standing still

Katie that last line holds all the power of a poem well composed and beautiful. A most lovely write that drips with innocence, bubbles with youth and tickles the memory of any parent. Oh that they would stay that age. A fave
Thank you so much! This is about my daughter Emmie when she was three. She is now twenty-six, married and a traveling nurse.
You are most welcome Katie. It shows the tenderness of a mother about a daughter.
'Time would best be served standing still'. Great line. From your comment it would seem there's not too much regret... Happy here, because this is not always the case.
Beautiful words Katie.
