Kp Nunez Poet Ode

Sweet Daughter of Mine

So beautiful, lovely and sweet

from shiny hair, to dainty feet;

Your pretty smile and innocence

rivals the moon’s incandescence.

I treasure times when we can feast

on storybooks, bored not the least;

At tea, content with lemonade,

and cookies topped with marmalade.

Daughter of mine, eyes full of mirth,

my heart sings praises for your birth.


*inspired by Eve's painting and a letter I made for my daughter around 5 years ago.
