I just thought I'd explain really quick that I have not been able to post on apricotpie for a while, due to a full schedule which included 4H. I have been writing some, but only poetry, and I will be leaving Tuesday to work at camp Barakel for two weeks, so I will basically be pretty innactive for a while. But, I will continue to write, and you can count on a chapter or two of each of my stories as soon as I get back. So, anyways... Here's a poem I wrote today...

Dearest…

Dearest,
Child of the Living God,
Lover of music,
Blossoming like a rose.
You are special to me,
More than words can tell.
I love you most when you forgive,
And you are forgiven.
I love when you laugh,
When you cry,
When you sing;
But most of all,
I love how you listen.

I love how you hear,
The music of the world
Which I created for you.

Dearest,
Daughter of the King,
Lover of music,
Blossoming like flower.
You are special to me,
More than words can tell.
I love you most when you forgive,
And you are forgiven.
I love when you laugh,
When you cry,
When you sing;
But most of all,
I love how you see.

I love how you see,
The colors of the world
Which I created for you.

Dearest,
My little princess,
Lover of music,
Blossoming into a woman.
You are special to me,
More than words can tell.
I love you most when you forgive,
And you are forgiven.
I love when you laugh,
When you cry,
When you sing;
But most of all,
I love how you speak.

I love how you speak,
With affection towards the world
Which I created for you.

Sometimes you fail,
And it fills my heart with sorrow.
Sometimes you rebel,
And it fills my heart with sorrow.
Sometimes you fall,
And it fills my heart with sorrow.
Sometimes you turn,
And it fills my heart with sorrow.

But when you obey…

Dearest,
Child of the Most High,
Lover of colors,
Blossoming like spring.
You are special to me,
More than words can tell.
I love you most when you forgive,
And you are forgiven.
I love when you laugh,
When you cry,
When you sing;
But most of all,
I love your heart.

I love how it beats,
To the music of the world
Which I created for you-
Dearest child.
