SHAHDI

All my life

I wanted to see

a little angel

who would walk with me

Hand in hand

we would go

the world to you

I would show

and teach you

what I know

And now my dear

you have grown so much

soon you will not need me

as your crutch

You have grown so well

my heart doth swell

of the pride I find

in your growing up

I think of you most every day

and keep you close

in this way

Keeping in touch

heart to heart, as it may

You have seen so much

in your few years

some in joy

and some in tears

but of your future

I have no fears

And now I tell you, this my love

Whether here or the world above

You are dear to me

more then I can say

For in words

there is no way

I was on the plane from California back to Texas and had just finished a poem that is to follow this one. I was moved of a sudden to write a poem for Shahdi, my dear and wonderful, precious daughter. It may be that I was flying overhead when this poem came to me.

She is a dear soul and I never stop getting compliments on her wonderful attributes and skills. Simply said; I love my daughter so very, very much.
