A Birth of Fable

the petals of blue orchids
kissed and blessed your eyes
a heart of beauty's twilight
now gives life to each moonrise

may the majesty and wonder
bring life's best unfurled,
to give you inspiration
in building a better world

the future belongs to you
in dimensions yet to be
and holding onto heaven
your footsteps will fly free

may mother earth protect you
as you sparkle on your way
may archangels form a guard
keeping watch on you each day

I would wish for you the joy
that can mend a broken heart
but I already know you have it
you've had it since the start

this is the beginning of fable
as the ancients have foretold
and in your palm is a story
that your fingers gently hold

Dearest well-wishing Jayne

Ann of Norway You cast a poem in the wishing well of her life and hope that this coin will nurture her through all its trials and tribulations, you give such a beautiful gift, she will smile in gratitude when she is big enough to understand; and she will treasure it. OOO Dare I? "and in your palm is a story that your fingers gently hold".. .... just a thought it could read, for the rhythm:- and in your palms a story that your fingers gently hold. "and holding onto heaven your footsteps will fly free" Oh I LOVE THIS dear sweet Jayne. May this poem fly "a heart of beauty’s twilight  now gives life to each moonrise By the light of the moon and the light of the sun, and the stars, and all the planets and bless her with your charms. Love to the compassionate Aunt J. From far away, yet close by, Ann. XXXXOOO "

Dear jayne

Its my pleasure, as it is rare for me to smile from my heart. Your correct i am new to this site, and cheers for the warm welcome. What i have currently put up on this site, is slightly on the more timid years of youth, where the consequences of choice scare the living spirit within. Have a good rest... Cheers, Manko

Seren

Dear Manko

I Know the birth...

of another life, so pure, like a vessel pouring out love, is also the hope of us who will go before, hoping that we might instill some of the love that we felt for them, refilling it with hope for mankind. You've said it beautifully. Love and hugs, ~ Gee

A child should always have

A child should always have something to live up to. It does take a village. Lily has been blessed. I hope someone can cross stitch your poem for Lily's bedroom wall. I would if I could. Bless all the children. ~ "Even if I knew the world were to end tomorrow, I would plant an olive tree today."-- Francis of Assisi
