A handme down gift

inspired by my blanket girl

Life is a handme down gift
she said to me --
treasure the moments
of life
we all share
sitting beside
the fire
tonight
in our handme down life.

Author's Note

My 7 year old daughter dictated this poem to me. I thought it was pretty good. She picked the image from stock fire images too.

"Handme down gift" WHy it's out and out profound. and from a 7 year old no less. Suddenly I feel very immature.

[Lyn Anderson]

Thanks for indulging the request. I rarely send them anymore, but I tell you, my jaw dropped when it came out of her little mouth, and I dragged her to the netbook.
