Written for dVerse Quadrille #234: A Sparkler
A Day! Punam invites us to celebrate Diwali
by writing a quadrille including a form of
the word “sparkler”. This is my quadrille.
The first time
I looked into his
sparkling blue eyes
I fell in love
I saw in his gaze
a reflection of
my own heart
I knew he was
the kind
of man who
would love me
forever
Pure and true
my father’s
love

You have a hot dad, Nancy 😉 Good one. The song with the slideshow gave me tears in my eyes as I thought of my son and my granddaughter ❤

Hahaha! That guy is super hot! I was originally going to go with John Mayer’s song “Daughters”, but after listening to and watching Paul Simon’s, I had to go with his; it really is very touching. I’m glad to know you enjoyed my post, Lisa. Thanks so much.
