This Daughter
I have this daughter
She stole my heart
Refilled it with young love
Aspirations
Youthful dreams
Respect
Strength
Intelligence
Fortitude
She entered my world
And opened hers to me
And now
We are connected
In a way
That disconnecting
Would shatter my paradigm
And half of my excitement
Of being alive
And facing a world
Whose face isn’t always kind
Is my joy
In knowing
This daughter
