PEACE TO YOU


Dark curls
Blue eyes
I want to hug you
Watch you waddle down
Down the sidewalk
You must be riding a bike now
And be very tall
I see you as you were
And imagine you now
A big girl
Bright and happy
Laughing and skipping
I see the joy in your face
A cheerful child
Full of love
Someday you will fill my arms
I will tell you stories
And we will smile
Life has many turns
For now we are on different roads
But not too far off
We will be together
And learn of each other
You have much to teach me
And I will share all I know
The truth will be ours
And with it understanding
I miss you now
But I will wait
Until our time comes
Life is long
And my love for you is strong
Peace to you my daughter
