Full white linen moon floated across the tree tops like a cradle that was handled with care. As it rocked back and forth on a bed of marshmallow shaped clouds

Wails of screams bellow in the darkness that howled like a wolf throughtout the night without fail.Two hours before the morning's light resurrected a yellow sunrise

Spring baby arrived on time,like a shooting dream in front of my eyes. As the clock chimed five, soon a rooster yodeled a nursery rhyme. The March winds blew a lullaby in the air. Perch on a branch was a pair of birds singing pretty

Bumble bees buzzed 'bout on a purple faced flower. Spring Baby's feet were placed in ink, on a sheet of paper. Springtime showers sprayed the tulips and daffodils that were on the ground. The stars wink from the sky at the sound of your sweet cry

I blinked twice at Spring Baby and said; you know what is so nice? You introducing me to love and happiness.You wiped all that was sad. And, now I have a family I never had

I promise to make you happy. Fore, I am sorry about your daddy

I will be there to hold your hand as you take your first steps to crawl to walk to stand. I will catch you when you fall. I promise to be there throught it all

I will end this poem filled with memories that find this and that as it comes to mind 

 Like  'Poppy'  is what you called your cat. I remember like most mother's do, my Spring Baby sucking her thumb too. And, when you first drank milk from a sippy cup

My chocolate eyed raven haired beauty is all grown up
