childrens poetry
Nostalgia-inducing poetry inspired by our earliest favorites; from Dr. Seuss to Mother Goose, children’s poetry is all grown up.
Dear Daughter
Dear Daughter, You, with your auburn curls set afire by the sun’s light. You, with the crooked smile that fills my heart with delight. Before you were here, I said a prayer and offered it up to God. In my heart, I held an image of you dancing beneath the trees. Throwing confetti into the air as if life was one big party. The sun followed wherever you went. You reveled on earth as in heaven. With a grateful light heart, you played. Any dark cloud that approached you casually waved away. You went right along humming a tune and skipping without a care. You wished on dandelions as the wind blew through your hair. You knew no doubt. To uncertainty you were blind. Your eyes glittered like starlight. Your heart shined with the divine. You were brave and confident. On angels wings, you would fly. Protected from all because you were God’s child long before you were mine.
