This poem, Lace Hearts, is a work that a child would love to find when pondering the relationship that exists between the chief-cook-and-bottlewasher and the heir/heiress apparent.

Oh this is heartbreaking and beautiful. Obviously it hurts more when I can't see my daughter, but not your fault. Your perfect choice of words strikes such a chord in me. Thank you.

This was so beautiful and sensitively written. With my wife gone, I thank God she left me with aq daughter I will always love, as you, your child. You are a very adept writer at free verse. (before I could send this, my daughter called to say she loves me!)

    Since I've been in the hospital a lot this year, if I don't answer the phone, she thinks something happened to me!

This is a beautiful poem about motherhood. It's full of love and tenderness. A mother always remembers those wonderful moments of their child's childhood.

A mothers love for a child is one of the sweetest things on earth. No matter how old they get, they will always be your special little o

This is a lovely poem about treasured memories tucked carefully into a box for safekeeping--and taken out and enjoyed over and over again.

This is a vrry beautiful lovely tribute to the love of a mother for her child. Your free verse was easily read and flowed nicely. I loved how you took us on the journey through the child growing up and the different ways the Mother felt the continuous love.
Thanks for sharing this with us.

I don't know what to say besides "I'm blown away". This is one of the most beautiful poems I've read. It's so heartfelt, every line so full of meaning and adoring love... I could cry. I became a mother last year, so this poem stirs my heart in a deep and special way. I also noticed and liked how everything revolves around lace, in a sense, and you end with "forever laced in all my love". Just lovely.
