Kayla

I know of a person
who can speak volumes to my heart,
a talent shared by very few
and I noticed it from very early on.

Also, I appreciate her
and her way of bringing her unique light,
into any type of venue.

For her smile is oh so infectious
and her eyes have a way of piercing into mine,
because her light is so genuine
and treasure, do I...every time she visits.

She has a propensity to command attention
without any of the flaws of arrogance,
or the misunderstandings of self-importance.

What a delight it is for us to share footprints
and to to be in her wake, as she moves about the room.
Gone are my concerns in her presence,
for she is that special, for she is my Kayla.

I know a Kayla

Young, but a charm. There is a road named Kayla Ave not far from here either. (Not sure if I have ever met a kitty named Kayla LOL ) This poem is very warm, Doc so I like it very much ! The language is prerfect for me and you must be talking about your daughter (I think) if not maybe you could work in that clarification. Joy and Peace, Mark If I could ever summarize the sum, I would retire and grow tangerines.

Maybe, just maybe....

...I should've clarified this write. That was my fault, however...it doesn't matter who "Kayla" is, exactly to me. What matters is, that her description touched YOUR hearts, and caused you both to realize that you had met someone like that, in your lives. I truly thank you for posting both of your comments, and you both also need to know that the "Kaylas" out in this world can teach us many things. Like...love, magic, and mystery...to name, but a few; but I believe it is their "innocence"... ..that specifically rings through, in everything else. Think about it... #{:>{)}==/ docmaverick.

I'm sooo glad that you guys liked this one, because....I'm sure that one of our, "collective Kaylas" had to have been surprised, and tickled by the attention!
