Ode to My Daughter – poem
My girl is a gem
There is not person
Who can measure up to her
Not another child I’d prefer
She’s seen and accepted
All of me
Even the ugliness that I see
A more grounded individual
Cannot be found
Better organisation skills
Than Capability Brown
Her logistical brain outstanding her peers
Accompanying, caring attitude with plenty of cheer
A prouder mum cannot be found
When my daughter is around
I feel so privileged to be in her life
I never assume that I have that right
She is my hero
My life and my light
As always, a button shining bright
That turns on the future
And allows me to see
How familiar love can be
Mother’s shouldn’t have a favourite
But they do…
So, credit where it is due
My beautiful daughter,
I love you.
Fin.

To my beautiful daughter, whom I’d be lost without.
