Christina




Crazy big love
here in a small package
resolute and strong-willed
incalculably and always ever active
still haunting and mysterious
tinged with perfection
intrinsic with compassion
never refuses a challenge
all wrapped into a fluffy ball of Chrissiness!

    Awwww, and now you've made it an acrostic too! Very creative use of all the letters. You've got me pretty much bang on as well... very insightful of you. You're too good to me, you really are.

    Thank you so much!

    Nice. This does describe Tina, and the writing is lyrical and well pieced together.

    ...did you add more to this? For some reason, I didn't remember the "haunting and mysterious" part. But then again, maybe I'm just delusional!

    ...I changed my mind. I was rooting through my baby pics and found this one of when I was one week old, I think I'd be more suitable!

    Beautiful, wbiro! This birthday-card poem should definately win the contest. The baby Christina you describe here is a tough little girl, just like my son was as baby, and turned out to be too... And I love the name Christina.
