Ryleigh And Stella
Joe Strickland 1986 (Hobbysville, SC)
Seven years ago,
A little life was brought forth,
My sweet daughter came,
With eyes full of curious light,
Eager to explore the world.
In whispers of breeze
A treasure map now unfolds
Paths leading afar
But she appeared too belated,
A message lost in saline waves.
Tiny fingers wrap
Around my heart and soul
Welcoming my world
A new life born into mine
A daughter for eternity
Pacific blue eyes
Golden bronze strands bounce wild,
Little hands outstretched in glee,
My three year old girl.
Innocence and laughter reign,
My heart fills with joy and love.
