All about her.

When she sees a child at play it's magic to her eye,
and a baby sleeping, always makes her sigh.
When she sees the dew on roses opening at  dawn
she can't hurry past, she has to linger on.

Just a glance of snowfall and she's lost in time,
through a frosty window how her spirits climb
when the moon illuminates the satiny landscape,
and the evening slips up with it's starry drape.

She's enchanted with each autumn morning coming on
loves to wander through the leaf strewn lanes at dawn
listen to the music of a calling meadow lark
and a full moon's beauty lighting up the dark

She still loves a Christmas card, a letter from a friend
something tells me childhood for her will never end
And that's how it ought to be, I hope she'll never be
anything but what she is she's perfect to me

Let her love the simple things she does, and be content
if they make her  happy, the emotions are well spent,
I only hope the magic she has will always stay,
for I'll always love her just that way.



Author notes

Not a picture of a baby, sorry. But I just can't resist a fluffy bunny. Hope they're OK.

    This is wonderfully sentimental. It is amazing and lovely how some people seem to always be able to hold on to the simplicity and wonder of things. It is always a good a idea to keep someone like that near by She sounds well loved.
    Very nicely written!

    I felt like I wanted to capture all that, you know the child inside of me, to have a child like heart again without life getting in the way of all the beautiful creation God gave us...and as for the bunny, geez, the horses now the bunny, well I was waiting for ways I could use the bunny background too (giggle) You show a soft side... maybe the little boy in you...at least you would never had tortured them. Bless your heart.

      Oh, Amera. You just made my whole year. To think this silly old janitor means anything to such a gifted poet is a blessing. Well, you have some great poems from truly fine, accomplished poets to honor you. Sigh, if only. Thankyou so much!

    Calm

    I love the feeling in my mind this poem creates, i feel like i'm wandering down a misty lane on a cold wintry morning. Then in stanza four its like i've walked into a warm house in the middle of a big field. in all this poem creates a very warm feeling by cooling the surroundings
    If i had to criticize i would take away any references to children, but thats only cos i'm not a big fan of kids, the poem still works wonders though
    Good luck in the contest
