My Daughter

A challenge with a warning 
An earthquake then tsunami
With promise of a rainbow in the morning 

Vibrant true and natural
Earnest sweet and actual 

A drive to keep surviving 
Always seeking, always striving 
Succeeding and then thriving

The embodiment of hope 
Never failing to adapt endure and cope

The chaos in her wake can sometimes seem so devastating 
But her forward footprints tell the story of the beauty she's creating

Exuberant daring and fun
Brazened and emblazoned by the sun

She lives at the horizon's edge
Her life a testament a promise and a pledge
