A Decade of Life
Your intricacies fearfully and wonderfully wrought so well,
Sweet child, sweet daughter, greatly priced pearl,
You’re a darling, a sweetheart, my dearest ‘Mabel’,
Like your name, prayer born - meaning ‘Beautiful Girl’.
And that endless innocence in your scintillating eyes,
Each time I cup your face in my palm,
Fails not, that ‘in-depth love’ to catch me by surprise,
For your essence and your presence is my life’s balm.
Your life’s my very breath because you are my heart,
Though time beaten, these faculties, limbs, and grey,
Yet that smile rekindles in me like a burning spark,
To stand, to love, and to give to you my everyday.
