My Dearest Daughter


 To My Dearest Daughter,

There is so much I want to tell you,
about how you unfold my heart,
how it feels like the sea and the sky
never ending, how in the beginning
I held your small body inside mine
as you grew, I grew too, in ways I never knew
were possible, your heartbeat was mine,
and my love for you was like nothing
I could have ever imagined, and how
you came to be in my arms, and my arms
felt like the shore, holding your eternal
light, keeping you safe from any storm,
I want to tell you how you open my soul,
with everything that you do, each moment
that I spend with you is like the sunlight
and the moonshine, which I carry you
outside to see when it's brilliance
makes a halo that seems heavenly,
like you, my little sun, my little moon.
