Ode To My First Born

Red hair 
 From my dad.
 Does not describe
 my beautiful child.

 She is poised,
 calm and serene.
 My precious,
 clever queen.

 First born,
 to two nuts.
 Silver spoon.
 Missing.

 Beauty, brains.
 Had a loving start.
 So forgave for
 breaking her heart.

 Feels she needs
 to be in charge.
 Relax babe,
 I am no longer
 up in arms.

 Always there for
 her younger sisters.
 When I was not fit
 to be their mistress.

 I love your calm.
 Your "In control."
 So pleased you are
 a perfect mould. 

 Of my confidence
 and Dad's calm.
 His brains.
 My music.

 So proud.
 Can't find words.
 Thank you Edna
 For letting me
 be yours. xx
