John Castellenas Poet Prose Poetry

Butterfly Kisses

Butterfly kisses

Once my baby girl,
once my world.

We had Summer days at the beach, wandered all the parks near when the days were warm, we shared the first day of school and I waited a thousand day at the bus-stop for you.

I learn love when you came into my world,
daddy's little girl grow-up and they know.
Always a safe place in their father's eyes and home.

I remember your butterfly kisses and your smile of gold.
You made my world more wonderful and I am thankful,
for my little girl, now strong woman.

I love you my little one.
