For Amy


This Little ditty is written on my Daughters Birthday ( who is loved lots ) she is to be married next year to a lovely chap So this dedicated to her.

For Amy 

Amy Shepherd

My Pre-Raphaelite child,
With her tonal golden hair, 
A face illuminated by her smile,
Her demeanour totally unaware. 

My Pre- Raphaelite Teen,
With her tonal golden hair, 
Her body entombed in jeans,
A style she wore with flair!

My Pre- Raphaelite woman,
With your tonal golden hair, 
Your love of life your omen,
A gift if ever to share !

My Pre- Raphaelite offspring,
With your tonal golden hair, 
A love date set for your wedding
To a groom who loves to care !

What more could we wish for 
My Pre-Raphaelite Child !

    Kerry! This is wonderful! I dare say it's yours that may put mine to shame! I like how you keep the phrase from start to end, and the pic is lovely! Your "baby" girl is beautiful, and hope her road ahead is filled with lots of love! Make sure her prince knows just how lucky he is :)and send birthday wishes her way from me!

    Brilliant I wonder if I'll be writing poetry for my little seven year old in years to come! Gorgeous girl you have Kez, she looks like a joy to be around and you're obviously very proud of her!

    Taking a walk through the ages
    Yet remaining on the same pages
    With the first little bit
    Really adds joy to what you writ
    Nice tribute indeed
    And a great read
