I Will





All girls long for little luxuries,
                             for flower feasts,
                             for deep bliss submersion.

So darling, though they bloom
 not as beautiful as you,
                   I will bring you roses, I will draw your bath.
                   I will paint your childhood with love, colors, vibrant, as best I can
                                                                           and your story, I'll pen with belles-lettres,
                                                                                                         while I'm able.

And when fully blossomed and in love
                                 my prayer will be that he, too,
                                                  will often bring you roses.

    A little girl is so special - ours may be 22 and a college graduate, and is special but even sweeter when she was little. So, yours is a beauty and she no doubt appreciates the styling attention as she grows. So nice!

    Hello.
    If he loves her, he'll not only bring her roses, but endless love, laughter, smiles & hugs (smile).

    So sweet & thoughtful.
    Thanks for sharing.
