To My Daughter

I nearly lost her in a car accident a couple of years ago, so now she's even more 
precious!


You are so beautiful - 
Your green eyes nestle below dark lashes 
as you view the world with youthful vision. 

You are so beautiful - 
as you light up the room with your entrance 
and entrance its occupants with your smile. 

You are so beautiful - 
deliciously scatty flying in and out of 
our home and our hearts with energetic vivacity. 

You are so beautiful - 
your capacity of embracing opportunity 
and success is unsurpassed and touching. 

You are so beautiful - 
you still get childishly excited by the snow: 
your voice aglow as you tell me on the 'phone, 'it snowed!' 

You are so beautiful - 
even when you annoy me and we shout 
I love you more than life itself, for you are mine. 

You are so beautiful - 
silent tears as I write this, but they are proud, 
loving tears, tears because you truly are 

My beautiful daughter.
