As I sit here and try to think of something to write
the phone rings, she called to say goodnight
My two year old baby daughter
went to visit her sorry father
Why did I have to let her go?
oh how I love her so
Little Girl so sad so sweet
to see your face would be such a treat
Hush little baby please don't cry
be a big girl and say good bye
Mirror Mirror on my Wall,
My Guardian Angel, My Crystal Ball
Where has all the Magic Gone?
In the Child's eyes! The Wind SCREAMS
Made of stuff from my sweetest dreams
Twinkle Twinkle little Star, can I keep you in a jar
Daddy's little Pride and Joy
Run to me like a favorite toy
Take a deep breath and hold on tight
looks like this trip could last all night
Romeo O Juliet
Shakespeare's in love I bet
Candles, Perfume, body lotion
incense, music, sweet emotion
A child of love
from heaven above
Her daddy and me
and baby makes three
Now my heart's split in two
what should I do
She got her daddy's eyes
and her mothers lips
her own little nose
the perfect little hair clip
She so pretty and innocent
but I know she is daddy's girl too
And then the wind blew
Thank you for calling, I'll see you soon
go get in bed and watch cartoons...

A fairy tale and reality running together side by side, very clever and full of creative imagination--------and the touch of your warm and gentle heart shining through like a beacon in the night to keep your litle girl safe.
Just before I clicked on I was getting ready to title one of my writes/poems, with your same title, of course the theme was somewhat more dramatic ,in the opposite direction that is,I can't think of a better place for it though, I absolutely ADORE this piece, I can relate 110%. The only thing is its stanza form seems off some.Keep up the good work and thanks. DANIEL
I think this is absolutely sweet, Regina. I can also feel the pain and the sorrow of not having your child with you. I can only imagine what that is. Your style, as always, brings a smile to my face. I enjoy reading your poetry, which to me, bounces from one corner to the other, leaving me motion sick! But I love it! It is a pleasure to see you posting your work again. You will always be my Queen!
This poem has a strange rhyming scheme as it jumps around, but somehow it works for you. This was sad, enjoyable and easy to read. Almost like a nursery rhyme, but not quite.
Welcome !
