THE SPRING TIME OF LIFE

Very touching- children are so innocent. ;)Pia

this is lovely Jenny

So beautiful, Jenny;-) Just a small suggestion for the last stanza:- I laughed when your ice cream melted - dripping as you smiled... This stanza is my favourite:- "your tiny hand grips my finger oh so tight, testing your strength your resolve ever resolute," Just lovely. Tina

Your poem truly reflects the beauty of innocence, Jenny. A really touching piece! Magic xxx

That works brilliantly now, Jenny. For me this a definite 'fave' of yours;-) Tina

New skinner_jennifer Well deserved cherries! The beautful descriptions of the baby, like 1st stanza: The nature of beauty captures my heart with each step you take, I'm captivated,bewitched by your eternal smile. Strange three of us singing at n/home "Younger Than Spring Time" yesterday. Reminds me one I tried way back, 2009 on AbcTales "My Dear Lorraine" think it's on here. Her 1st card all parts of a baby written.Or I made it up, and had birthday card as well. julie xx

Just popped back to say well done on the more than deserved cherry;-) Tina

This is definitely one of my favourites of yours, too, Jenny, and reminded me so much of my own son with the ice-cream images - I like to call mine 'my little muck magnet' because he always looks like he's been dragged through a hedge no matter what I do! Boys, eh? ;o) A beautiful and touching poem, and many congrats on the cherries! Take care and hope you are well, Rachel xx

This is SO beautiful and SO tender! really well deserved cherry.

new skinner_Jennifer Well deserved cherry! as I have said, mine was way back 2009, in the times of a smack then was allowed. You may like to read. Yes, me too I used to have record, of South Pacific was it "Mitzi Gayner" and handsome lieutenant I cried. The nursing home was a selection of songs, some fast asleep, one elderly can't talk, so I turn my chair, was trying "Bali Hi" not sure spelling, then I would do actions, silly me, of waves to her she would smile, and put hands out. I remember "Olde Yellow" do you, about a dog, years ago friend male took me pictures I was crying at film, passed me hanky said "There there! then went in forces,new 7 years, still have a photo,in a group tramps ball,there, but every where the surname followed me even married, and people, and 2nd hand wedding dress. Neighbour for daughter beautiful, paid £100 to keep wanted to be buried or what in it. But gave it to charity raise money, for disabled people outings, never found out how much it made. Mine was like "Mary Quant" short up to the bottom and lacey coatey long. "Jazz" cat just come in with Ray. But not sat down. So Jazz if running around, gone right around the curtain caught claw in net, Mine held his paw lifted it out. Laughing cos looking in broom cupboard. As mine hasn't got him on his lap, wanted to go. Runs to the door, loveable and very clever. I squealed when I got my very 1st cherry. cos; mine had coloured one on and copied poem, next morning there was one, I was crying and overjoyed, for him teasing me. Much younger! Have a good week-end.

Come to this late as haven't been around much the past weeks but this is lovely, Jenny. Much enjoyed.

How beautiful the imagry you created here in this poem and the message of life in spring has so much promise with the summer that awaits .

Hi Jennifer, you're becoming quite the poet as well as a great story teller. This one gave my old cold heart a rare nice warm feeling and made me go, "Aw."

A huge :- ))) I love it!
