What a great reflection of a family tradition. The rhyming is on point and the image is conveyed without the use of redundant words.
Clear and concise.
Well done

Comment from Alex Biasin
Excellent!
I really enjoyed this.
The structure of the poem really appealed to me and you told a delightful story within it about the dress and it's place in your family.
The rhymes worked well and were natural without any seeming to be forced.
A really good piece that I enjoyed thoroughly.

This is so sweet. I would've loved to have seen the portrait that Dennis sketched for you. I'll bet it was precious. You have used lovely descriptive rhymes making this poem quite enjoyable to read. Good job.
Thank you for sharing. ..Penny

Dennis did a great job including family members from different pictures.
Comment from RoostyNester
Nice poem about the Christening dress, that was passed from generation to generation for the babies spiritual success. Giving their life to God at an early age, gives a child a strong hold for later life. Beautiful poem and well versed.

These things are the 'heart' belongings of a family. Their family culture, if you will. Good poem that portrays this feeling of pride and of belonging in a family. Your rhyming is good and the flow is also good.

Comment from Susanne M. Psyris
Very good poem here. Loved the premise of it and the rhyming and meter are very good. How many generations has this wedding gown seen? Very beautiful to pass it down generation to generation. Lovely work. Good luck in the contest. God bless and hugs, Susanne

What a legacy you hold and it will continue to bless your family for

of the word success for these children. -Bill

Comment from royowen
It would be an honour to hold something as traditional and as precious as this Mary. My guess is Catholic. But three generations is great, my wife and I are now the first, after my mum passed away in 2012. Beautifully, and with emotion, scribed in smooth rhyming couplets, well done, blessings, Roy

A very well-written poem. The first very important dress in our lives are the christening dress. Generations use the same dress over and over.
