A Father’s Love  Perhaps wilder flowers somewhere may grow But brilliant is this vision that he sees What seeks sunlight as in green grass they glow In pasture’s wild, still in fields that are free Too beautiful to pluck, they blaze in sun Cherishing the night when dew comes to them They, counting those stars that seem on the run Awaiting morn’s sun to brighten their stems. Childish fingers may pluck, some day, this glow In gleeful laughter, to mother, she’ll run Father will watch as, some day, when she grows In pasture wild, a love’s brilliant young one He tends to her future, so that it holds Flowers brilliant, with hearts full of bright gold [This message has been edited by Sunshine (05-28-2003 08:43 PM).] |

A beauty. You wove the metaphor in magically, and it enhanced the warmth of the sentiment. (and yep, you know it--I miss him so terribly, sometimes I even HATE spring.) Hugs you. |

So warm, tender and touching! You've painted a lovely picture! Blessings! Shirl Till oceans cease to flow and deserts lose their sands, may beauty surround you every day and wealth be in your hands. |
