As I wrap up my Kaylee ready for sleep
Putting her in her cot each day,
Her eyes meet mine with a slight tinkle
Beautiful blue eyes seem to say:
“Daddy don’t leave,
Daddy don’t leave me alone
Daddy don’t leave
Daddy don’t leave me alone.”
Her bottom lip wavers starting her off
Followed by her forehead and eyes,
Her expression intensifies turning slightly red
All of a sudden then start the cries.
“Daddy don’t leave,
Daddy don’t leave me alone
Daddy don’t leave
Daddy don’t leave me alone.”
I loosen her cloths that release her limbs
She settles down along with her tears,
Picking her up Kaylee snuggles in
There she lies, abating all fears.
About me
I have been dabbling in writing for nearly 15 years now in various genres including short stories, longer stories/short novels, poetry, prose and song lyrics.
I love putting some of myself into my characters whether it be personality traits, my beliefs or my ideals. What fascinates me is that as time goes on and you age you look back and notice how your stories from when you first began writing seem so immature and totally cliched, and that you would re-write a totally different story if you could. I suppose that is because when you put yourself into a story, that is where you are at that point in your life. Over the years you grow and change and so your stories grow with you.
I like writing with themes that span Christian, Country, Western, thrillers, soft supernatural, redemptive ideals and a little sci-fi.
