for Anya

05/2011

when I think of you

which is never ceasing 

a flood of emotions run

through the valleys of my heart

my love and responsibilities 

form constant thoughts in my mind

the scars in my demeanor 

is the time lost between us

when I think of you 

I think of us running through

the theme parks, hand in hand

your confidence in me is staggering 

when I think of you

I think of you holding me the whole feature film

and kissing my cheek when sadness arose

you are the princess of my realm

when I think of you 

thoughts of your undying love surface

you love like me, unconditionally 

your person and your beauty flatter me

the joys that explode in my heart

when you dance with me, are heavenly 

the shades of time slow to miracle perfection

it makes me who I am as a man

graced by Gods greatest gift, a soul of an angel

its so nice to see such a dedicated father who is not afraid, never hesitates to show how much he loves his daughter. this is going to mean more and more to her as she grows older. the love you show her is so important, it really will set the stage for the rest of her life. but i can tell she is very lucky to have you in her life. :)

ps. i love the name anya!

Awe this was so sweet. It's cute that you wrote a poem dedicated to your daughter. You can feel the love within the poem. I feel that you are a good father to your daughter. And you know she loves you and always will. Plus your daughter is cute. Beautifully written piece, hun!. Loved it. Thanks for sharing.

Sometimes it's hard to find fathers that care so unconditionally for their daughters. I cried some because of this. Makes me realize how much I do appreciate my dad and makes me wonder if he ever misses when I was little and all the things we used to do because right now, life is so hectic we barely see each other. Keep on writing.
