Memories
emit visions
of yesterday,
when my little girl
lived to play.
Laughter echoes
from fading shadows,
as she runs among wildflowers
in open meadows.
Her sweetness
is forever
satcheled in my heart,
as life changes
and independence imparts.

Short but sweet.
You are very good at getting your point across with the short but sweet phrases. I guess you could say that I am working now too.
