Writing comes from love

In response to Rebecca's demo: Memories of writing notes to mom as a kid and writing baby Lilly's multigenre book:

Writing comes from innocent love,
from child's gift to mom
or adult's gifts to child.
I think on sweet notes
I signed and she adored.
Picked wildflowers to compliment
and presented wrapped in wet paper towels.
Dirty knees and tough bare feet
ventured into bumblebee ridden fields
for wild weeds that looked pretty.

And now I write for her.
Little baby wrapped up tight,
of what I wish hwer to see
and what I want her to find.
She cannot read but can say, "read?"
She will someday and know
this writing comes from love.
