Dancing with Alyssa

by Maple Tree   Aug 12, 2012


Sitting in the meadow green
I sang a song with a little queen.

Her eyes, they sparkled, just like her father's
she lifted my spirits and wasn't a bother.

We picked purple angels, as the blue sky danced
leaving my heart in an enchanted trance.

Her little toes and button nose
uplift my spirits wherever she goes.

Being a step mother
is a gift I hold dear
dancing with Alyssa
year after year....

    This is such a beautiful little verse...there's nothing quite like a child to lift your spirits...I'd totally agree with you there. They are just so trusting and when they love you...it unconditional and uncomplicated...I just loved your imagery here...simply beautiful. I couple of little grammatical errors that I saw...

    the poem is in past tense so dance should be danced.

    Nothing wrong here...just wanted to comment that this has to be my favourite...sometimes the imagination of a child is underestimated and they actually expand our own.

    think it should be uplift here?

    This is just my personal opinion here...I'd take the step mother bit out and replace it with something else. Let the reader decide who this little lady is...I just think it would make the poem more relatable to others...just a suggestion for you to consider.

    Just loved it!!!
