Daughter

Her innocent baby eyes looked up at me

And I strove to give her the world.

Today with unblinking vigilance

They watched over me as I lay ill.

Her tiny fingers - oh! so small!

She wrapped around my finger

And I just taught her how to walk.

Today with strength they gently massaged

My ever so tired & aching feet.

Her curious mind asked questions galore

And I gave her answers from every tale & lore

Today to calm my worry & anxiety,

From her mind flowed wisdom grounded & serene.

As my baby girl she flew kites

And stared in awe at every rainbow in the sky

As a young woman, this divine daughter of mine

Shall soar the skies

And become the rainbow of the world.
