“Principessa” New Poetry and painting for daughters by Rochelle Carr

Here I sit in Florence, Italy thinking about my daughters. They are beautiful young women and I love and adore them so. We put up with each others bad behaviors and are so close close close…..a feeling of closeness I cannot articulate with words – only with the pureness that my heart speaks. To all the daughters on our planet – this poem of Princess speaks to you. Big accolades to my sales agent Karen Hart at Showplace Art for selling the Principessa painting you see!

PRINCIPESSA

Daughter take my breath away
Your beauty proud and fine
You laugh, you cry, you go to sleep
Your heart of gold my soul does keep
Right beside of mine.

A playful quest throughout the day
With pink and purple ease
The books we read repeat themselves
With such sweet simple “please.”

Dresses, pants, pajamas
And socks for tiny toes
You try on outfits every hour
We’re running out of clothes!

We sit with awe and disbelief
Girl growing bold and strong
She capture’s every ounce of heart
When breaking out in song.

Savor every moment with video, pics and word
You never know how life will go
They grow so fast and gone you know
With wings so like a bird.

You might grow up to heal or teach
Are you the farmer for a peach?
Math Queens making business grow
Are you the next big CEO?

Brilliance sits so deep within
Often hard for you to find
Yet many chapters later
Jumps up somewhere from behind.

Artists turn to writers
Crafting artful prose
Though some are slow to find their way
That’s just the way it goes.

Love them, kiss them, hug them
Always let them know
“I Love You”
Is always here to stay
Even when they go.

I hope you find a partner
Supportive as you grow
Together you’ll find magic
Trust your heart – it knows.

Remember what I taught you
Bout settling for half-mast
You have the power inside yourself
Your older now – just ASK.

It’s all right to make mistakes
Finding trouble round the bend
The lesson is provided
Your integrity will win.

My darling Principessa
You might someday lose your way
Go find your grace in quiet space
And life will be okay.

I’ll always walk beside you
Sometimes you will not see
Years from now a spirit close
Your own angel I will be.

Your crown was mine
I give to you
No pomp and circumstance
Your ready for a bigger life
Let go – this is your chance!

Whatever be your journey
Your grand fine wish or dream
Go live out loud
With all you’ve got
It’s then you will be Queen.
