He held her close, he dried her tears
He kissed her forehead, calmed her fears
When for the first time, home he brought her
He lost his heart to his newborn daughter
And vowed to love her all his years
For this week’s Mind and Life Matters limerick challenge.
Awww…such a cute poem and picture!
Thanks for sharing 🙂
Love and light ❤
Anand 🙂

Umm….I’m going to try to unfollow you and then follow again to see if it shows up in mine. If it doesn’t then you will have to create a ticket with WP support to have the issue fixed.

Written from the emotions only a parent can truly understand. We should consider asking the media to end their “news” reporting with limericks such as this. Maybe then it would be worth watching the news and having something to look forward to hearing! Well done, fellow chiropractor.
