Daughter

A quick poem for my daughters 14th B-day

Formless, Without cause

Always stuttering

Through seamlessly empty halls

Love always absent

Liquid, Far from concrete

So was my life

During all the hollow days

Before our eyes would finally meet

 

February, Dark

Bland and Cold

Always, still searching

For reasons not yet to be told

 

Excitement and wonder

Sunshine and chills

Upon entering the world

All became real

 

The first breath that you took

Wasn’t yours alone

I was immediately blessed

And for once I felt whole

 

The gift I received

The day you arrived

Was the love I was missing

That gave me my life

 

Beautiful, compassionate

Funny, kind, and sweet

Daughter you are my number one

And you make my life complete
