She makes them in
her quiet time
...after school

she makes small
sculptures of

dragonflies
hummingbirds and
butterflies -

I call her
the irredescent artist--
that sweet daughter of
mine

she displays them
with blooming colors
to her youthful perfection

She'd rather be
creating miniature
mosaics than playing
in backyard ponds
or with bird baths
or animal feeders

...I didn't understand
quite why...

instead, creating
stained glass objects
was her favorite
thing to do

"they are my personal angels",
she says.

I saw the likes of
innocent images
that are custom designed
by an intelligent,
imaginative five-year-old
mind

I finally listened
and began to realize
a child's fantasy
encased in glass
longs to be
set totally free
