Innocence of Childhood ~ (To my beloved granddaughter ~ Rose)

She toddles through the lush green grass

upon her tippy toes 

and falls upon her padded bottom 

she giggles as she goes ~ 

A daisy chain begins to grow 

upon the field of green 

she picks the daisies with her toes

and drops them in the stream ~ 

She tilts her head to gaze upon

a sky of azure blue 

and dreams of dreams within the clouds 

as only children do ~

(Rose Elizabeth is now 20 months old

and the joy of my life!)
