THE SPRING TIME OF LIFE

Very touching- children are so innocent.

;)Pia

this is lovely Jenny

So beautiful, Jenny;-)

Just a small suggestion for the last stanza:-

I laughed when your ice cream
melted - dripping as you smiled...

This stanza is my favourite:-

"your tiny hand
grips my finger oh so tight,
testing your strength
your resolve ever resolute,"

Just lovely.

Tina

Hello Pia,

yes children are so special. This was a poem I wrote,
when looking at a photo of my son when he was young.

It just made me smile again to look at it.

Thankyou for reading and commenting.

Jenny.

Hello Insert,

glad you liked it, it's really a special poem for
me, to remind me of my son.

Thankyou for reading and the great comment.

Jenny.

Hello Tina,

Do you know I think you're right about those lines,
so I'm going to change them. Thankyou so much for
reading and letting me know. I'm glad you enjoyed

Thankyou again.

Jenny.

Your poem truly reflects the beauty of innocence, Jenny. A really touching piece!

Well deserved cherries!
The beautful descriptions
of the baby, like 1st stanza:

The nature of beauty
captures my heart
with each step you take,
I'm captivated,bewitched
by your eternal smile.

Strange three of us singing at n/home
"Younger Than Spring Time" yesterday.
Reminds me one I tried way
back, 2009 on AbcTales "My Dear Lorraine"
think it's on here. Her 1st card
all parts of a baby written.Or I
made it up, and had birthday card as well.

welcomed. Thankyou again and I'm glad you liked it.

Jenny.

Hi Tina,

that is such a wonderful comment, I truely do
appreciate your words. Thankyou.

Jenny.

Hello julie,

firstly may I say thankyou for reading and letting
me know your thoughts on this piece.

I remember that song, wasn't it from South Pacific?
I know it was from one of those kind of films, yes
it's a beautiful song, I love that film by the way,
it holds special memories for me.

You know it's so nice to get cherries, it has really
once again made my day, and I really do appreciate
your kind comment.

Thankyou.

Jenny.

Just popped back to say well done on the more than deserved cherry;-)

Tina

This is definitely one of my favourites of yours, too, Jenny, and reminded me so much of my own son with the ice-cream images - I like to call mine 'my little muck magnet' because he always looks like he's been dragged through a hedge no matter what I do! Boys, eh? ;o)

A beautiful and touching poem, and many congrats on the cherries! Take care and hope you are well,

Rachel xx

Thankyou Tina,

Jenny.

Hi Rachel,

yes I know what you mean about boys, my son was
exactly the same when he was young, but the one
thing I'm thankful for, is the fact that my son
always had a smile on his face when he was younger,
and he was always so happy, he used to make me
laugh so much, infact he still does now. I keep
saying that him and his mate, should be up on the
stage as stand up comedians.

Anyway I'm really glad you enjoyed this piece and
I'm very grateful for your kind comment.

Thankyou.

Jenny.

This is SO beautiful and SO tender! really well deserved cherry.

This poem embraces the depth of this love with great care, gently; making the reader really see the mother holding her baby in her arms, 'counting her blessings' ;-)

Amazing. Well done.

Nathan.

Well deserved cherry!
as I have said, mine was way
back 2009, in the times of a smack
then was allowed. You may like to read.
Yes, me too I used to have record, of
South Pacific was it "Mitzi Gayner" and handsome
lieutenant I cried. The nursing home was a selection
of songs, some fast asleep, one elderly can't talk,
so I turn my chair, was trying "Bali Hi" not sure spelling, then I would do actions, silly me, of waves
to her she would smile, and put hands out. I remember
"Olde Yellow" do you, about a dog, years ago friend male took me pictures I was crying at film, passed me
hanky said "There there! then went in forces,new 7 years, still have a photo,in a group tramps ball,there, but every where the surname followed me
even married, and people, and 2nd hand wedding dress.
Neighbour for daughter beautiful, paid £100 to keep
wanted to be buried or what in it. But gave it to charity raise money, for disabled people outings, never found out how much it made. Mine was like "Mary
Quant" short up to the bottom and lacey coatey long.
"Jazz" cat just come in with Ray. But not sat down.
So Jazz if running around, gone right around the curtain caught claw in net, Mine held his paw lifted it out. Laughing cos looking in
broom cupboard. As mine hasn't got him on his lap, wanted to go. Runs to the door, loveable and very clever.
I squealed when I got my very 1st cherry. cos; mine
had coloured one on and copied poem, next morning there was one, I was crying and overjoyed, for him
teasing me. Much younger!
Have a good week-end.

Thankyou so much shoe, I really do appreciate you
reading and letting me know.

Thanks again.

Jenny.

Hi Jennifer, you're becoming quite the poet as well as a great story teller. This one gave my old cold heart a rare nice warm feeling and made me go, "Aw."

Aaah! that's great of you to say oldpesky, it warms
the cockles of my heart, to hear you say that.

Thankyou so much, not only for reading but also for
