Legacy To My Daughter

If my eyes should never see another setting sun If I went to sleep tonight, knowing my days were done If I should never hear the sound of children at play If I knew without a doubt, this was my dying day My daughter, here’s a wish that I hope will come to be I want to leave a legacy so you’ll remember me When you’re feeling all alone and want me to be near Or when monsters come crowding in and you’re filled with fear May it be that your hand will reach for my book of rhymes In reading each poem, may you relive happy times… When I shared a funny rhyme to chase away your pain Or perhaps you’ll remember how writing kept me sane Maybe you’ll come upon this little couplet of mine And you’ll smile through the tears as you read between each line I hope you’ll be filled with pride knowing my dream came true My published poem book is my legacy to you I hope it will ease your pain and bring joy to your mind Search in every line Mommy’s hugs and kisses to find. It carries my love, dearest, and some sagacity, But YOU are my living word and my real legacy!
