For you, my daughter......

For you, my daughter......

Her first smile in the morning

strikes me in the gut without warning

her bright blue eyes seem to stare directly into me

right down to the very core of my soul

to see her happy is my constant mission

to help her long desired dreams realize fruition

this is what will make me feel content

knowing this for me is my gift wrapped present

her constant trickle of laughter that echoes

through the halls of time

her musical giggles ring so innocent, so true

a balm to my soul, especially when its brought on by what i do

she is my gift, one that i will surely treasure

one that knows no value or measure

one that will exist in my heart for all eternity

for as long as i have air in my lungs and life in my body

she is, you see my daughter, my baby

and for me there is no perhaps, later or maybe

she will always come first in my life
