PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I wrote this tonight on the eve of my my step-daughter's 17th birthday. I've been in her life since she just a little over the age of 1. I may not have birthed her, but we share a bond that I never thought I would ever want nor have with a "child." Up until the age of 24, I thought I never wanted to get married or have kids, but when I met her father I knew he was the one for me and we've been together for 16 years. I'm grateful for the the bond her and I have and no matter what the world has thrown at our little family, I would never change that for anything. Where has the time gone? Where will it go? Who knows, but I wanted to share this poem I wrote for her. I hope she enjoys it when she gets her birthday card tomorrow. 

Even when you think I'm not looking, I am. Your forever in the spotlight.

The Welsh language is making a return in the country of Wales. Great. Although I am still learning.

The snake. An animal with a 'forked tongue'.
