I liked reading this. My favorite stanza was:
My child, you were made
from love so strong and pure,
uniquely woven, delicate
and rare.

When a three-year-old could write a whole sentence, you must have wondered if you had another great writer on your hands (smile).

    Thank you so much, I love this comment. She is now ten and is in fact a writer!:) At eight years old, she had a poem published by Young Writers of America. I am a proud Mommy. :) Thank you for your kind words.

It is a good poem in its objectivity however I feel the subjectivity could have been more forceful and thorough though simplicity is best it weaves without breathing in construction however the sentiment is acknowledged and reminds of the care we take love sown and grown for this is its mind portraying all due care and diligence in its write and for this it is rewarded .... however personally I think its a four for me !

Interesting way to describe love that last over time:"
In every cherished moment,
and in each one to come
forever laced, you'll be,
in all my love.
" Thank you for sharing and good luck with your writings.

Jessica,

This is a beautifully written poem entry for the "Lace" event in the Fabulous Free Versers Club". Your entry is exquisitely written and perfectly captures the sentiments of the theme of your poem. Each stanza is exceptional and speaks to the miracle of a mother's love at the birth of a new baby through early childhood. This is a wonderful addition to my collection of bookcased poems here on Fanstory.

All the best,

Eugene

This is a beautiful and poignant free verse for the Lace challenge, Jessica. I loved that you start off with a loving couple and then you go into the wonder of motherhood.
forever laced you'll be
in all my love
great lines, and well done.

After reading your exquisite way of dedicating your love to a child of your own, Jessica, even I would call you mommy. :) It's a very moving poem. I see your heart and it is very lovely. I only wish I knew how to write like you. Thank you for sharing.

Hi Jessica,
This is a wonder free verse about marital love and love for a child. Both are intertwined as you all will be for the rest of your lives. I like how lace is woven in all the sections.
Keep writing and stay healthy.
Happy Holidays.
Joan

What an awesome, sweet, and wonderful tribute to your child. There really is no love like the love of a mother for her child.

You have a talented knack for always picking the exact right words for your works. I enjoy reading your offerings.

Very good,
D
