What a sweet poem! I love it! It has a child-like sense of simple joy. I agree with @evelyn that you should keep posting them. I probably will do the same as well.

I just remembered a really old poem I wrote and was lucky enough to be able to hunt it down. I think it’s the first one I did. Its all written in red pencil with several misspellings and piecemeal capitalization (at least I capitalized “God”).

Golden Hair

Golden hair, golden hair. 

It finishes a face that’s extremely rare. 

Nobody will rip or tear

your little face of golden hair. 

I would not hurt your little smile

for it brings more to the ten millionth mile. 

I would not change your little nose

for it is the one that God chose. 

I would not trade your little eyes

for a million bow ties.

And what about your golden hair? 

It finishes a face that’s extremely rare

Your little face I’d rather hold

then a chunk of precious gold. 

Golden hair, golden hair

it finishes a face that’s extremely rare

nobody will rip or tear

your little fae of golden hair.

 

It’s sweet until you realize I wrote it about myself! 😛 I clearly had vanity problems, and unfortunately this isn’t the only instance of me obsessing over the greatness of my own hair. 🙂
