An eye for detail



My dearest daughter has always had
An eye for detail; ever since she was little
She has amazed me with her drawings
With her talent for art; for the intricacies
Of everything she undertakes!
Plasticine was just one of her mediums
Vanessa made wonderfully detailed
Portraits of Mickey and Minnie Mouse
A water scene; a car driving over a bridge
The fisherman sitting on the edge
The ducks swimming in the water
Even the lines running down
The centre of the road
Another undertaking was of a little chapel
People sitting on hand made peg seats
The priest with his cassock
All the people in the church
A mother with her baby and everyone
Wearing scarves to keep them warm
As the cotton wool snow covered all around
The little pine trees snow covered as well!
The roof was removable; cardboard over pegs
White snow all over the roof
The whole Christmas scene so enchanting!
I made all her Barbies clothing from bits and pieces
Until she decided to design the clothes herself
Vanessa had her own little exhibition
Of elegant Barbies; their hair twirled in plaits
So beautifully done, their clothes majestic
Crinolines and shawls of peacock hues
All her dolls took part; photographed
And displayed in the State capital
Then she made dream catchers
And later jewellery; bought from op-shops
All remade to her tastes!
My daughter I am so proud of you!
