REQUESTED (Izzy’s sonnet)
by Marie Elena
On the occasion of Izzy’s 6th birthday, I just wanted to again share the poem I wrote when she was born. Happy Birthday, Izzy! As soon as this Covid-19 stay-at-home is safely lifted, Poppa and I will have you for a sleepover and proper hugs. In the meantime, enjoy your birthday, pretty little sweetie! ❤
REQUESTED (Izzy’s Sonnet)
God graciously gives gifts that prove His love,
And this time used a cherished little one
Whose precious face is reminiscent of
The one who caused my heart to come undone.
Another set of prints upon my soul
Has made her presence known, and it’s sublime –
Just like a piece that makes a puzzle whole,
Or syllable that finishes a rhyme.
Upon three years of practice on my part,
You’d think by now it might have gotten old.
But every day brings wonder to my heart,
And now my joy has multiplied twofold.
Delivered straight to us through Heaven’s door –
The one her sister earnestly asked for.

I love this! I hope you and your family are well. Sending my best wishes always!
RYAN! Hey there! Thank you so much, and how are you? Staying away from this stupid virus, I hope. And your mom? I’ve been staying at home. April is a good time to be stuck, I suppose, since it’s Robert Lee Brewer’s April Poem-a-Day Challenge time. 😉
Again, thank you! I need to get back to your site soon and see what you’ve been up to!
I’m well, so well. My mother is living her best life as always. Thank you for reminding me about Robert’s challenge! Head over to the site when you have time. I am calling for poetry submissions and would love to feature some of your work as well. Many blessing to you.
So glad to hear you and your mom are doing well. 😉 And that sounds wonderful, Ryan. I’ll head over there shortly. Blessings to you as well!
