Poems

Posting poems is always a scary thing because I never know if the poems are good or will just embarass me. But here are three more.

Baylie Anne Batchelor
My daughter.
I look into your eyes
As you look back at me
And I can't stop smiling.

I watch your daddy
Look at you in wonder.
His face is softer,
His bounce a little higher.

I want to put my heart
in your little chest,
So you can be filled
With this love I have for you.

I want you to know God,
To love Christ,
To be happy,
To reach your potential.

I dread your first skinned knee,
Your first hurt feeling,
Your future broken heart,
And want to hold your hand forever.


New Man
I love my husband,
He's kind and good.
He does the things
A husband should.

But there's a new man
Who's stolen my heart.
And I love him more -
I knew from the start.


My heart's a flutter,
My soul sings gladly
When I look at this man -
Who's now my daughter's daddy.

Rage
Such anger, such wrath.
Frustration fills face, arms and legs.
Every muscle tensed in agony -
All over the loss of a pacifier.
