I Know She'Ll Be Alright (For Chelsey's 17th Birthday) Comments

I like a poem that 'does business' - you're working out a practical problem here, getting a handle on an important relationship. It's a great way to get leverage.

Don't know why, but it is true- A son is a son till he marries a wife, but a daughter is a daughter for the rest of her life. Your Chelsey is beautiful, as is her mother, and she'll be lucky to grow up to be as nice as you. Scarlett

Fantastic Mary. And a very happy birthday to Chelsey from me. Oh to be seventeen again! ! ! ! Well in some ways, anyway! This is a lovely write and a pleasure to read. Love Ernestine XXX

Mother and daughter connecting beautifully to that line that is so precious, for it even keeps them together when they don't get on or are apart.Don't keep asking yourself if you have done enough.just look in the mirror one night and give yourself a pat on the back.Love Duncan

I think it all says, you're doing a great job, Mary!

Mary-You really capture the mother-daughter bond in this poem. Your affection and devotion to her are so warmly expressed in this loving poem. Well done! Your Friend Ray

Angel mother, angel daughter, angel poem. Heartwarming stuff. And Mary, you're one lucky lady. Warm regards with a score of 10 from Gina.

Mary, your open heart is something wonderful. Words which may not be trampled on by words.

Sounds like she had good rearing from you. No matter how old the daughters they always need their mom and love them in that special mom-daughter way. Your ability to share real life situations as a poet continually grows. Rusty

Alrite darlin. Did Chelsey have a party? Was it good? Boozin? Maxin relaxin? Or was it like reading poetry? Often that's best for meeting nice girls. You know the ones with Hraaam. Please reply

Thats a really nice poem Mary, touched me, made me wonder what my mum used to think, Moyaxx

Its kind of happy and sad as we watch them grow into adults, missing the little things and yet proud as we see them becoming more mature as they strive towards independence, my oldest daughter is now thirty and only lives two miles away, yet phones every day and ends with love you dad, which makes me smile, that was a lovely poem Mary brought it all back.

Lovely Mary. As I know you sentiments mine just turned 18. And I wrote for her also, She's 18. Regards Patricia

yes she will be fine, they all grow up Mary like yourself hihihih, have a nice Day dave...Kiss to CHELSEY from dave xxx
