Headstrong, willfull,
vain as a rose.
Fiery and spiteful,
pretty as prose.
Source of affection,
deep as a stream.
Sweet as confection,
a lover's dream.
Soft as a meadow's lie,
snowswept and clean.
Child of a mind's eye,
source unforseen.
Bright as a buttercup,
kissed by a bee.
Love of a lifetime
brilliant and free!
Robert Louis Arehart
