You held me,
fragile and tentative,
at first in awe of beauty
too tender to imagine.

Daughter, me, mine
the best of who
I am...
and more.

Reflections of light and spirit
so strong, even shadows
beam
with love and affection....

You held me
in your eyes,
a seeing so wise
only heaven can guess
the meaning.

Soul deep connection of
a love so pure and true,
a lifetime
of gratitude
for you.
