Tiny diamonds on her cheek
A child of our own
Pleading to heaven
Not to have her medicine
Our baby daughter
Wife found some candy
Swiftly tears turned to drizzle
Her smile now returned
She reads her a book
Her dark tunnel of despair
Has now passed its peak
My wife is a saint
We have been married six years
Have now put down roots
Hers a tale of woe
She had no love in her life
Until now that is
Came from a cruel home
All that is now behind her
But not forgotten
Not always easy
How she has blossomed today
A perfect mother

Nice one! 'Tiny diamonds' - I like this term.
ReplyDeleteExcellent story.
ReplyDeleteSometimes those who have had the least love make the best parents because they want it to be different for their children. this is a lovely tribute
