Angel Child
By Miggsy
I watch you, playing amongst the flowers A breeze whispering through your golden blonde hair I admire the bloom of a dandelion you have caught behind your ear Your soft cheeks, pink and rosy from the sun I join you in anticipation as you grasp a downy bud between your fingers …and I laugh as you purse your lips and blow I am caught in the excitement I see in your eyes As feathers from the dandelions dance around your face I pick you up in my arms And kissing your soft skin I hold you gently, close to my bosom As you relax in a restful sleep I jerk to the sounds of the relentless traffic and realise I was yet again lost in my thoughts This was only a wish for a child of my own. A child, forever elusive, destined only for my dreams.I was thinking about this poem the other night and realised I needed to make a couple of subtle changes. I felt I needed to take out the words "Imagine" as it wasn't consistant....What do you think?? Written February 25th, 2002 © on Jul 02 2002 11:08 PM PST 0 • 12
