Carrie Mae

NOTE: I was recently asked to write an acrostic piece for a father to his daughter 
on her fourth (I think) birthday. This is the resulting work. Luckily, the requestor 
seemed to like it, so I am posting it here. T.

Cherished as you are throughout each waking day,
Amazement that you bring to light my weary way,
Residing in my heart, forever you will stay
Recipient of my love that never fades away,
Internally I sing and sometimes even pray,  
Evermore my love, in all you do and say.

My child you are the sun when skies have turned to grey,
A beauty and delight, a vision to portray,
Evermore my love, my darling Carrie Mae.
