My Daughter

I’ve never deeply experienced love and joy
Until; that stinkin’ cute baby girl with golden hair
Big round steel blue eyes and fairest skin
Took my breath away the instant I held her

The joy that fills me nothing can compare 
That magical moment became my favorite 
That parental instinct just became naturally fitting 
My walls of protecting her sprang right up 

To have her in my life is the greatest gift of all
She didn’t just complete me
She is the every essence of my purpose 
My everything beautiful, rain and shine

My girl 
My daughter

I have two boys. It was after years of waiting, they came to us as late arrivals. I had always wanted a daughter. I know a daughter makes a mother's life complete . May God bless your daughter, dear Fin

Funny, I’ve always wanted a boy. Never happen… I guess, we’ll just have to take what’s given to us and be appreciative. Thank you, Valsa :)

A marvelous ode to your daughter, my dear friend, Fin. The moment our children are born, our immortality is assured. Once I was in your position when I had my daughter who now has a daughter of her own. Pure magic. I wish your daughter health, happiness, and longevity! Wonderful writing! Be blessed.
