The Courage of a Daughter
The Courage of a Daughter
A strong and beautiful person...
Warm, loving and caring
Sensitive, sharing and giving
Pure at heart, never to deceive
Insightful and
full of encouragement
for me, and everyone else.
The love of a saint,
so precious
and so dear to heart...
is my Daughter.
Always amazing me,
with profound thoughts and words
her courage and strength
always and evermore
One day with beautiful long hair
two months later
an awesome new, short style!
She was not afraid
I would be; I am proud...
She encourages me,
Inspires me.
Then in one moment of despair,
she says, "Life is too short to cry."
She picks herself up
and moves on.
It is not always the parent
who shows and teaches...
Sometimes it is the child
the beautiful, wondrous child
who brings the Faith.
(And then I think of the song, "In My Daughter's Eyes" by Martina McBride -
Beautiful!)
