My Daughter Poem by louis rams

you are my daughter, my everything.
you mean more than the world to me.

you captured my heart at your birth
and removed all my inner hurt.

you softened my heart to the
beauties of the world.
you are my little girl.

you are the one who set me free
and made a man/woman out of me.

you showed me that responsibility
was buried deep inside of me.

you showed me the beauties
that a daughter could bring

and taught my heart how to sing.
