Daughter

She reflects us,
In body and soul,
Our marital love and struggles,
shaped her emotions and dreams.

In the early years, she was the pupil of our eyes,
She was the lovely princess in our little castle,
We floated together with care bears on white silky clouds,
We flew together with Mary Poppins million times.

Her aches and pains always seemed like ours,
Her tears of joy and frustration always replicated in our eyes.
Her sorrow and setbacks together we dared,
Her laughter and happiness happily we shared.

Her ambitions and adventures, we always encouraged,
Her mistakes and teenage isolations, we willingly ignored,
Her goals in life, we always stood behind,
She is our daughter and will remain our love for the rest of our life

To have a daughter is a real blessing. I have two sons. I have always missed having a daughter. Though I regret it, I am thankful, for God gave me two sons at a late age. A beautiful tribute to your daughter.
