The Loveable Child
Emile Poulsson
Frisky as a lambkin,
Busy as a bee—
That’s the kind of little girl
People like to see.
Modest as a violet,
As a rosebud sweet—
That’s the kind of little girl
People like to meet.
Bright as a diamond,
Pure as any pearl—
Everyone rejoices in
Such a little girl.
Happy as a robin,
Gentle as a dove—
That’s the kind of little girl
Everyone will love.
Fly away and seek her,
Little song of mine,
For I choose that very girl
As my Valentine.
What a sweet poem… I was a bit perturbed when I first read it because I thought the writer was a woman, Emily Poulsson, but it was EMILE Poulsson. A sudden light of enlightenment beamed down, and I smiled, “O-oh! I see!” Anyhow, I think it is a very cute poem! (Love that last line!)
Oh, just wanted to share a quote that made me think of this blog…
“Painting is poetry that is seen rather than felt, and poetry is painting that is felt rather than seen.” ~Leonardo da Vinci
Wrestle with the Angel gives us the opprtunity to see as well as feel!
Thank you for this creative gift, Samantha!
