DAY 22 CHALLENGE

  I tackled this challenge in two ways.
 First, I took the title, ‘Poem of Love’ and added a poem about my daughter Alison when she was first born.

​
                                                           Dear Daughter Mine.
​
                                    She smiles and…
                                                                   a polar ice cap melts.
                                    She laughs and…
                                                                  a thousand people are uplifted.
                                   She cries and…
                                                                  a nation is saddened.
                                 She is the sun, the moon and…
                                                                   as my love orbits around her
                                 I  am overwhelmed by 
                                                                  the pulsating glow of motherhood.
