Shahdi

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
-Shiidon, August 2009

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.
