My Daughter's poem

This poem was not written by me and it will be rare that I post things others write on here, but this touched my heart and I wanted to share it....

The day you left,

I wasn’t born.

The day I found out you were my dad,

My jaw dropped like rocks.

When we come to visit,

You held me in your arms.

How I wish you never

Held me all that close.

Now I sit and wonder,

Shall I ever go back?

For you are a gift,

I can never take back

You are my only father,

My second love,

You said you’d always be there,

But once again you lied.

You asked me to move in,

I rejected you again.

I said I’m very happy,

At what I have accomplished.

You asked me for your privilege,

In everything I do.

I don’t mean to offend you

But my answer is a no.

I found my way around you,

And stumbled on depression.

Now I struggle,

Each and every day.

So when you ask me to be,

Your only baby girl

I get very confused,

And my answer is a no. 

Today....

Today I smiled....
A thought of you was all it took,
Two lovers in love,
Walking along a moonlit sandy beach
....Today I smiled!

Today I laughed....
A vision of you planted in my head,
Two friends at play,
Running amuck a concrete playground
....Today I laughed!

Today I loved....
A feeling you sparked in my heart,
Too much for words,
Forever placing my heart in your hands
....Today I loved!

Today I prayed....
A blessing you have been to me,
Too much to know,
Wanting to be with you through all eternity
....Today I prayed!

The Power of Us

I thought to myself today, "gee, I like us".
It was only a moment later I kicked myself...
Resonating clearly, "nay, I Love us!".
Without you in my life, I'd have no wealth.

You inspire me to be better than I dreamt I could be,
And next to you, I only get stronger.
All of your support empowers me to try harder,
It's things like this that make me want to love you longer.

I have been blinded in the dark before,
But somehow you reached in and guided me to the light.
You're my silent hero always watching out,
Just like my very own shining white knight.

Without your love I never knew how sweet life could taste,
It was always about ME and what I had faced.

But in your arms all of my problems fade away,
And I feel the strength I need to fight another day.

Words may never express what you mean to me,
But I Love Us and that I pray we'll always be.
