    Ashley

    she dances there,

    this white-blonde waif,

    pixie, darting through

    the meadows of

    my memory –

    seen dashing toward me,

    with loving, youthful abandon,

    wrapping herself to me

    tightly,

    arms locked ‘round

    my neck,

    a guileless beauty,

    head resting on my shoulder,

    sweetest,

    softest embrace

    forever stealing,

    sealing my heart,

    with simple, solemn whisper –

    “i love you”

    What a beautiful sentiment. This is very sweet and filled with love and emotion for a very special child. Again, I love your style, and hope one day to write things as beautiful as yours.. Hugs SG
