My Baby Daughter 'Lauren'

Barbara Ellen Meyer (Meyer-Spidell) wrote this for daughter, Lauren Marie Meyer, born in Elgin Il, Sherman Hospital, on July 23rd, 1989.
Circa 1990-91.

She lifts her chin and her delicate head spills her hair back the color of butter

I kiss her bruised lip from her fall from before

and I watch her jump across the floor

her features lovely and right

skin soft

and eyes blue

light

agile

swift

daring and kind

This all describes the girl of mine
