O my love is Amelia Rose,
Who was newly born in March.
O my love’s like a melody,
That gently steals my heart.
So fair you are, my darling girl
Your tender smile commands
With snowflake breath and rosebud lips
Sweetly drifting into dreamland.
As long as waves blanket the ocean,
As long as stars brighten the night,
My love for you will ne’er dim,
My arms will be ready to hold you tight!
Author Bio: I am a full-time Psychology faculty member and a proud alumna of Evergreen Valley College. Writing has long served as a creative, cathartic space where I have found joy, meaning, and a voice during life’s more challenging moments. Though many responsibilities carried me away from poetry for many years, I am grateful for the opportunity to return to it now. The birth of my first grandchild, alongside my daughter’s graduation this spring, inspired me to reconnect to this cherished practice. |
