Julie sure sounds like a wonderful daughter. Your pride in your daughter really shines through in this lovely poem. I know the feeling well as I am also a proud Mama. I wish you lots of luck in the competition. Jen.

What a beautiful poem about your daughter. To celebrate her completing her Master's is a wonderful idea. You have a right to be a proud mama. Congratulations.

Proud Mama indeed, and well you should be! It's such a fine feeling to see our "children" soar from the nest and succeed in such a fashion! Congratulate her for me, for that Master's Degree! Wow--sounds like you have grands to make you proud as well... You must have done a lot right! Take a bow yourself in the process!

    Thank you Karenina for your thoughtful and kind comments. I guess you can tell we are so very proud of daughter Julie and the grandsons are pretty special to us as well. I think it was more luck than doing it right though. :))))

What a gift to have... I'm glad to get to know her through your poem. This poem is a wonderful tribute to her (and you, as a mom who raised her with obvious love). Good job with this poem.

I love this poem about your daughter. You give such a clear picture of a woman who has grown from a happy childhood to a parent and a scholar.
Daughters and sons, too, are precious children from God on loan! I loved that.

    I liked that line as well as I believe we all belong to God and our children are just that - on loan from Him.

What a lovely poem. It's so nice to know you had such a good relationship with your daughter and that she passed it on to her kids. I appreciated your choice of rhyming words. They worked so well to tie this poem up in a well written package. Best regards, Lilly

I hardly ever give 6 stars, but I found this to really resonate in my heart. I feel like this about my grown child as well. And I recently returned to university for my degree, so I can celebrate with your daughter as well! The poem reads easily, the rhyme and rhythm carries it along. Great work!

-Thanks for sharing the photo and notes, Janet.
-What a lot of accomplishments; you have to be very proud.
-I am glad you will be celebrating with her next week.
-You wrote a very good poem for her, and I am sure she will be pleased.
-I like how you tell some of her story from her youth to the present.
-Effective imagery and rhyme, like
"In muddy shoes and dress of lace"
-A very good concluding verse, too.

    It's funny the things we remember that our children have forgotten. When I read her this poem at our celebration dinner, she didn't remember the muddy shoes and dress of lace or the day she played in a softball game and immediately after she changed cloths in the back seat of the car on our way to her piano recital. But...I remember them well.

    You are very welcome, Janet. When you think about it, there is a lot to pack in a brain if we remembered everything. I know I learned the stories from my parents regarding the early days. It is the same with my adult son.

There is much for you to be proud about with your daughter Julie... take pride in your own achievement in raising such a well-rounded personality, embracing sport as well as academic, and being a great mother.
Your poem is well written in portraying Julie's many attributes and shines with your love and pride.
