The poem below is dedicated to & inspired by my oldest girl: Grace. Hope you all enjoy the read! π€πππ
EFFERVESCENT LIGHT
She’s a sponge
She’s a light
A curious cat
Beacon in the night
She’s effervescent
A pure delight
Sparkling & carefree
Full of love & life
She’s a big heart
Wears it on her sleeve
Clever & whip smart
Like a summer breeze
A breath of fresh air
A human dynamo
Full of natural energy
Always on the go
She’s fully plugged in
To another source
Out of this world
An ethereal force
Of sensitive strength
A spirit that’s tough
An intuitive mind
That calls your bluff
She’s Rapunzel
She’s a princess
A mischief maker
Who likes to mess
She’s painting pictures
And building blocks
Melting our hearts
As she turns the key to unlock
The inner child in us
Inviting us out to play
To keep learning
Something new each day
She’s full of Grace
A gift from God
Irrepressible
And beautifully odd
‘Gracefully’ nice. Can sing along all the lines, beautiful.
Thanks.

Awwww…. Such a lovely poem! Keep a good hold of it – that’s your speech sorted, when she’s getting married! ‘Irrepressible and beautifully odd’ – Your daughter sounds like a very interesting person!

You’ve captured her essence in this poem! I can only imagine how much she will love this poem when she is older. My father was very into counted cross-stitch and made several wall hangings – he gave me one for my wedding. If he’d have put something like this on it I’d have loved it even more than I did. (It is hanging above my bed)!

Ah, thanks so much Muri! ππ Very kind of you to say! π I sincerely hope I did and hope she will! π€π€Counted Cross stitch sounds beautiful & fascinating. Ah, I’d be lost without the girls even though they drive me slowly around the bend. ππππ My poetry is my way of showing them that I love them and that this is what “Daddy did”, ya know?! π

I love every single word in this poem. What a lucky girl to have a father who sees her fully. My favorite words are the last two “beautifully odd”βwhat a prefect description of your remarkable girl and something I think everyone wants to be.
