FREE VERSE Poem: My Punky Sweet Girl, by Ashley Showers

My heart is held by the tiny prints from your hands.
The curls of your little fingers,
Entwined between the strands of my hair
Latched to comfort with a familiar scent.
My eyes are blessed to see you grow
A tiny and fragile soul
Blooming, like a wildflower
Infectious and beautiful,
Where does the time go?
Gorgeous blue eyes radiate,
The way the light sparks within
Glowing and spreading.
My selfless tribute to,
The incision from where you entered this world.
Where grooved stripes allowed you to grow and gave comfort.
In beauty too, they honor you
When night falls,
And after we’ve laughed and learned
I cherish each and every moment,
My precious little one.
The laughter, the tears and
Everything in between
Forever and every moment after.
