Wish I had six stars to give... I really enjoyed reading this. It is a lovely poem celebrating an equally lovely tradition. I like your use of alliteration throughout. Excellent use of rhyme as well. Blessings... Christy

A very well done poem in couplets about a charming, personal family tradition. Nothing forced in rhymes or meter. Flows smoothly from start to finish.

A very well-written poem. A handnade christening dress that are now a heirloom of more than hundred years ago and still in use by generations.

A nicely written contest entry. The poem is well written. The words flowed well line to line combining easily and forming the message of the poem for the reader. What a wonderful family heirloom. I hope the christening dress lasts for many more generations.

What a lovely tradition! I think it would be so special to have a blessing like that to be passed down from generation to generation with the stories that go with it. Special!!

This is a simply stunning approach to the contest. Your choice of focusing on a single moment when the past and future join in family tradition was beautiful and certainly speaks to "family" in every sense of the word. I wish you all the best in the voting and thank you very much for sharing it.

Comment from Dorothy Farrell
Hi - this is a lovely poem to Sarah Jane. When she grows she will love to read it. The christening robes in the past were very beautiful and it is lovely that your family have kept this one. Your Poem in rhyming couplets is perfectly written and the content is lovely. Good Luck to Sarah Jane. Regards Dorothy (and good luck to you in the contest)
