Today is my daughter's birthday, so I am posting a free verse poem I wrote for her earlier this year.
like a delicate bud
unwrapping its petals
exposing its core
to see new life
a precious little babe
opens her eyes
revealing her soul
to accept your love
a gentle gift
a fragile flower
to
receive
believe
hold
unfold
protect
connect
guide
provide
she blooms
into a beautiful flower
then comes the hour
when you know
you have to

What a lovely gift, to have a daughter such as yours. Letting go is hard as they grow up and strike out on their own, but your hearts will always remain connected.
