It took me a bit but I wanted to return the review favor! :) Very sweet poem. Descriptive, too. You better believe I'm going to read more as soon as possible. Nice work!

I don't think a capital for every line is needed. "She is but a child" you can get rid of the "but". "she is a light amongst the dark" could be" She is a ray overcoming the shadows". I love "A beacon of innocence and purity". I would take off the last line. It is just a summary. I also like the title choice. Nice to read a longer work of yours.

Aww, this is adorable! :)

D'aww It's sweet. Well, bittersweet. I'm not a mother, but I like how you illustrated the perspective of a mother towards her daughter. A daughter is everything good and fluffy in a mother's life, but the end shows that she must go, and the mother must allow that to happen. Anyhow, I loved it. I'm not usually a big fan of writing poems, so I don't really have anything to say about structure/flow/whatever a poem's supposed to have.

And now, I'm rambling. Sorry. Lovely, bittersweet. Loved it. Fly on!

Warmest Regards,
Nell
