A Daughter's Journey

For my Father

I've walked this path before

the stones beneath my feet
were rough, yet the path 
was easy to walk...
I know this path
I've walked it before, and my
heart grows heavy with the knowing...
Knowing that soon I'd come 
to that fork...and knowing I'd have
to choose my way...
Today, my way seems to come to
me,  instead of me to it...
It's a path towards love...
The purist love...and I find
you there...loving me always...
Loving me for paths chosen
Wiping away tears for paths not taken...
How could life be what it is for me...
without you?
So for all that I am and all that
I've not yet become... 
I say to you today, while on 
this path of mine...
I love you wholly and  purely from
my heart and soul.. to you I bow...
arms outstretched..to you I simply
Am...
Love...

Tracey

To my Father, I'll love you always and forever..
