Poem For My Daughter

Meet me tonight
in the oceans
of your dreams,
we’ll catch
shooting stars
& gather
moonbeams.

Tell me the source
of any woes
that you bear,
I’ll hold
you so close
you’ll never
feel scared.

I’ll be your guide,
shield your heart, &
guard your soul,
ever
it’s needed,
I’ll always
console.

The light that you
shine, no one shall
ever dim,
in this
darkened world,
so riddled
with sins.

The Lord as my
witness, & my
word my bond,
no force
will break you,
our hearts are
too strong.

You, the dreamer,
& peace the theme
of your dreams;
I’m here,
your father,
whatever
you need.
