For my brothers with daughters, I call this
Waves of joy hit me when I think of a mind like yours
The essence of bliss, your smile alone can light the shore
So, what's it like with a view so bright, a life so pure
I had little doubt when I figured out it made mine obscure
As delicate as a daisy but your effort is amazing
I love how I find you in every breath that I am taking
With flesh like a pearl, the most precious of girls
Put my life in perspective; you can change the rest of the world
I've gained so much, I don't miss the life that I've lost
You could be besides me & still reside in my thoughts
For every day that I breathe my awe just increases
It's true a tear from your eyes can break my heart into pieces
When I reach, you reach right back, you belong in every dream I have
I've seen your first steps; it's only right you see my last
Now I live to see you grow, try to make you feel no limits
& I don't fear my last breath - I know you would still be in it
Although it might break your heart.. it won't break your spirit
