A poem dedicated to my youngest daughter.

For you
are my last precious gift to this world
So strong, self assured
and all knowing
Encumbered with the love
Security and support from your siblings
Guided by the light,
that comes from within
your own heart and your own
sense of organization and being
Filled with the knowledge
and the courage
To face all that is before you
with a sense of security
and a solution of principle
If there were doubts
only a mother would see

    I found it touching. It isn’t always easy to put into words what is in your heart.

    A wonderful poem and a beloved daughter.

    Wow, how precious your daughter is to you comes through this poem. It’s the way it should be but not all children are loved by their mothers unfortunately. The world needs more mothers like you, more gifted writers like you, more love that exudes from you like you. Your special to your daughter too and a special person. Don’t ever forget that.
    Much love to you my dearest internet friend.
