We are a Team

I’m looking out a window
   watching miles trickle by
   my daughter’s curled up next to me
   napping on the ride

I find peace in her proximity
   while I trifle with these words
   miles to go upon this road –
   wheels spinning round each curve.

We’re off to some new destination
   where we know not what we’ll find
   and as we journey on together
   we hope the highway will be kind

Soon enough we’ll come to rest
   and she will wake up from her dreams
   and we’ll explore our new surroundings
   for she and I – We are a Team

Now that's a team I understand well ... you've got me thinking about my mom RogueandPoet, and that's a lovely thought indeed. Very much enjoyed this.

Best wishes,

It would be difficult to find the "Rogue" in this "Poet"!

What a beautiful father and daughter team! May the road be kind, indeed!

A poem to warm the hearts of your readers! ~ and your daughter when she is old enough to appreciate this love offering from her Dad!

Here is a loving hug for each of you!

Thanks all. My daughter is eleven and most of the time she dismisses my poetry as "too grownup". Still there will come a time I think.

my daughter once did that too but she's writing her own poetry now and it's pretty good I think

but I might be biased

I feel the same about my daughter ... She's only 9, but it's me and her against the world *smiles* we're a heck of a team and it sounds like you and your daughter are as well.  Lovingly heartwarming, this piece

Nothing beats a team between father and daughter, it is great to see that there are good fathers such as yourself!
