a poem to my darling daughter.

You are beautiful,

but I won't tell you so

 too often.

For those words can be tarnished

by the taste of conceit.

You are more lovely

than a flower

but it is internal,

both fitting and concrete.

You test me

every day of my life.

You cheer me

with every smile.

Your eyes are bright,

your tears are wild.

You amaze me.

You have my nose

and my growl

your Daddy's eyes,

and your brother's howl.

You make me taste plastic grapes,

and paint the sky pink.

You are braver than you seem.

You are stronger than you think.

Every moment you are present

makes me dream of tomorrow,

I would carry your every weight.

I would steal your every sorrow.

You speak a language of your own

yet I know every word

It's a secret that you share

that only I have ever heard.

You are my best friend,

the happy to my ness.

You are everything, my love

and will never be anything less.

                                                                                                                                          love you bug.
