I have some very creative friends, who can make beautiful things. One of them made me the most beautiful cut out of my favourite poem. In return I wrote her a poem when she had her little girl.
It’s embarrassing, poetry. Do people like it out of politeness? Is it awful? God knows but I enjoy writing it. Here’s the end article anyway – I wrote it over a year ago and haven’t written anything since, maybe I’ll start a poets corner here!
Wishes for Carey
There are lots of wishes I could make
I could wish for so many silly things
But what I wish for glorious Carey
Is a happy heart that sings
I wish for her to see true colours
To have the strength that only kindness brings
For her to laugh, to jump, to dance
To find the place from which magic springs
To have a childhood painted with summer
One that gives her starlight wings
These things I wish for Carey
These things she’ll have galore
These things I know you’ll give to her
These things and so much more
What a lovely poem! And I’m not just liking it to be polite. I particularly love the line about starlight wings. What a wonderful gift for a friend.
Thank you 🙂 x
I love poetry, reading and writing it, and this is really beautiful. I’m glad you’re sharing it. You’d be a great addition on my #TreasuredMoments linky if you’d like to join in
Thank you – I’m going to check it out now 🙂
What a wonderful gift for your friend, it’s beautiful. I love the lines ‘I wish for her to see true colours / To have the strength that only kindness brings’. I know exactly what you mean about poetry, I never thought I would write it and I often wonder what people really think when they read it. It’s such a personal thing to write x #prose4t
I love the feeling in that – it really expresses what we all wish for our children #prose4t
I am always truthful with my comments when it comes to poetry – and I love writing and reading it. One of the things I love about it is that it is exclusive and personal and a fantastic gift – you have given this to your friend and done a brilliant job. You should definitely write more. Thank you for linking to Prose for Thought 🙂 x
Thank you. I find it really embarrassing to share but I love writing it. I will try and write more regardless xx
How thoughtful a gift and your friend must have been quite overwhelmed (I certainly would have been). It brought to mind the fairies in Sleeping Beauty bestowing their wishes 🙂 #Prose for Thought Special Teaching at Pempi’s Palace
Thank you 🙂 She wouldn’t read it at the time as she was still hormonal!
That is quite lovely. And what an awesome gift. Mother wrote a poem for my cousin and it made my Aunty cry which I believe was the desired result Mother and Father had I carry your heart as a reading at their wedding x
Yes we are having it at ours as well! 🙂 x
