The Gift
Now as I can recall
your smile.. your laughter
and all that is of you
A gift to pass on..
Kind words
dripped from your heart
Love
seen in your misty eyes
and I knew
how much you adored
daddy's girls
huge parts of you..
and I knew
no gift
could be found
that really would speak for you..
Now as I can recall
no dolls.. no princess dresses
for me.. from you..
I didn’t notice, then
how a void could disturb
and break a bond
if not the love you gave
your love
that bridged all the gaps
opened gates of bliss
mended all the cracks
and deafened ugly sounds..
A gift to pass on..
So rare! So priceless!
wouldn’t be misted by dust
would be able to deal with time
but never adjust..
A gift to pass on..
not a mere memory
or just a piece
of a poet's glossary
It is the peace and beauty
You once infused into me
A most precious gift
You offered me!
