Wish my daughter was here!

~ Child in the Street~

I see a child in the street

I see the smile that lives there,

her sunny yellow hair

a playful item in the cart

It’s a beautiful thing

to see a child so smart,

a future so full of potential

unlimited life that lives there

The happiness of the child’s disposition

with the love of two parents that listen,

A blessing and privilege her own

A family, a home,

not having to starve from what she is missing

her cup will one day be full

she’ll be a star that shines around others

that her results will benefit well from,

for the helpful person, she becomes

proudly loved by someone;

who holds her hand really well,

never break the spell

all things turn out well

as the cart turns the corner

my smile disappears

I wish my daughter

was here!

I've been writing as long as I could hold a crayon! Remember writing my first story like it was yesterday at 5. I remember the details of the day, location, time, excitement & where the story was preserved for all time! Lots Born From That!
