I’ve written poems about my wife, and about my dogs, but I don’t think I’ve ever written one about my daughter. This one is for her.

A Father’s Wish

I wish you joy to temper pain,

Some sun your clouds to chase.

I wish you love to lift you up,

To gently touch your face.

I wish you peace when weariness,

Tells you you can’t go on.

I wish you friends to carry you,

When all your strength is gone.

I wish you luck for everyone,

I know needs luck at times.

I wish you hope to not give up,

In spite of all life’s crimes.

But most of all I wish you sight,

To see the one I see.

And courage that you may become,

Who’ere you’re meant to be.

I pray that every wish you wish,

Is someday coming true.

Because your joy is my one wish,

My daughter I love you.

Cheers, Winston

NaPoWriMo Day 11

My daughter will be moving out in a couple of months. It’s time, and I’m happy for her to be taking this step. But in my heart, she’s always going to be my little girl… and I’m going to miss her.

FOR MY DAUGHTER

I love my daughter very much,

Each day I tell her so.

I watched her learn and watched her change,

I watched and helped her grow.

 

I know that soon she’ll move away,

That’s how it’s meant to be.

I know that I am going to miss,

The time she spent with me.

 

I’m blessed to have her in my life,

I don’t regret a thing.

Except for moments I have missed,

That’s one bell I’d unring.

 

When she was young it seemed we’d have,

Forever and a day.

But now she’s close to leaving and,

The time just flies away.

 

I know that I will see her still,

When she has moved away.

But it’s the million little things,

That i will miss each day.

 

The smiles, pokes, demands for hugs,

And random, pointless talks.

The way she rolls her eyes and groans,

‘Bout picking up her socks.

 

I love my daughter very much,

Each day I tell her so.

I’m proud of who she has become,

Love/hate to see her go.

 

Cheers, Winston
