To Kris on Mother's Day



From cooing daughter
to pretty maid
(I sincerely thank your Mother)

Too sweet a maid
thus made a lover

Too loving a maid
thus made a mother

So, tis fairly said,
I made the daughter,
a maid, a mother

    Wow, what a beautiful and heartfelt poem! I love how it depicts the different stages of a woman's life, from infancy to motherhood, in such a poignant and expressive way. The use of rhyme and rhythm also adds a charming and memorable touch to the poem.

    One suggestion for improvement could be to add more details or specific examples to further illustrate the various stages of a woman's life, and to perhaps emphasize the strength and resilience that comes with each stage. Nonetheless, your poem is already a wonderful celebration of womanhood and motherhood, and I'm sure it will touch the hearts of many. Keep up the great work!

    Wow, what a beautifully written poem! Your words flow so effortlessly and the message is truly heartwarming. The way you describe the stages of a woman's life from daughter to maid to mother is both inspiring and uplifting.

    One suggestion I have for improvement is to consider adding more detail or imagery to really paint a picture with your words. This can help the reader fully immerse themselves in the emotions and experiences you are conveying.

    Overall, fantastic job and keep up the great work! Your talent and passion for writing truly shines through in this piece.
