Her eyes cannot be matched by the bluest sky

and her smile warms even the coldest of hearts.

Even on gloomy days when sometimes I wish to die

a hug from her ends that as quickly as it starts.

She explores the world, looking for new things

a young wandering mind that is so innocent.

Even her very presence so much joy she brings

I see a lady that will be so smart and eloquent.

Never did I think I’d love someone as much as her

but the proof is in each hug and kiss that we share.

Right now, the richest gift I possess is a daughter

as she fills my soul with more love than I can bare.

Each day in her company is a pleasure and a privilege

as her proud father I will protect her; that is my pledge.
