She is the apple in my eye <br />She is the sun that radiates from the sky <br />She is the moon and the stars up above <br />She is my daughter- she is my love. <br /> <br />She brightens up the darkest night <br />She is my guiding light. <br />From the second she was born <br />My life turned completely around <br />I had purpose, and a love profound. <br /> <br />The smile on her face, and those piercing eyes <br />“ this was life” - I can’t deny. <br />When she grabs your finger and <br />Squeezes it with all her might <br />It becomes a most beautiful sight. <br /> <br />The time goes by quickly as she starts to grow <br />And you take her Christmas shopping <br />Or her first picture show. <br />When she first starts realizing <br />What boys are all about <br />And with her friends, she giggles and shouts. <br /> <br />Then as a father you know, it’s getting <br />Close to that time <br />when she will no longer be mine. <br />She will no longer be daddy s little girl <br />She has become a gem, a diamond. A pearl. <br /> <br />She is now the treasure that men are seeking <br />And it’s a thought that I am keeping. <br />Will they value this treasure the same as me <br />Because if not-“they better set her free.” <br /> <br />She knows that when she is hurt and in despair <br />I will never turn my back- I’ll always be there. <br />She is my life, my blood, my soul <br />She is the one that keeps me whole. <br />I will give up everything that I’ve <br />Gained in this life. <br />For her I will make the ultimate sacrifice.<br /><br />louis rams<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-fathers-daughter/
