A poem about my wonderful daughter who’s nickname is Cockle!

Within her mind is Cockle world

That hides from truths in fluffy clouds

With trees of pink and lilac hues

Orange streams and purple views

Where Lep – Lep roams & rules her land

Fairies come & brothers banned

Those large brown eyes tell stories to

The ones that love & listen through

She never pauses or takes a breath

She roars through life on urgent quests

But do not think she doesn’t care

Beneath those clouds that crazy hair

Is a heart that’s pure that’s kind & true

That when you’re down will comfort you

And don’t be fooled that she’s not there

Lost in the clouds above her hair

For this ones mind is very bright

She’ll dig in deep, she’s always right

Then back she goes to Cockle world

That hides from truths in fluffy clouds

    By reading your work I have come to this conclusion.

    Pete I feel you are a man that stands high alone, there are very few men in this world with the ability to express such passion in way you have,it is an art in its self which you have mastered to a fine fine level.
    I am very impressed in your talented ways.
    I will be keeping an eye on your notes, I feel I can learn from you, thank you so much for being so open, added with so much warmth.

    Aww Pete…a lovely poem…and I’m sure when she’s all grown-up…it will be her most favourite possession…and the one thing that’ll keep her grounded ~ beautiful Pete :-)
