There is a place
where my love feeds a fountain
There is a place
where my shadows fire the light
There is a place
where heaven kissed me
on my cheek
There is a place
where I learned to believe

In your eyes
bluer than the ocean
In your smile
wide as the sky
In your laughter
I find myself drowning
In your little hand
may you always find mine

There is a place
where angels dream of flying
There is a place
where the stars stand in awe
There is a place
where summer lasts forever
There is a place
where whispers meet the wind

In your eyes
bluer than the ocean
In your smile
wide as the sky
In your laughter
I find myself crying
In wonder of
your little hand in mine

zaac,

The love for your daughter flows through this piece. I think that the love you expressed makes it perfection.

Alison,

thank you for that. i wrote this a few years ago...she is 8 now, but each time i see her and each time i read this, i find the feeling has only grown deeper, as it should. not to get personal, but i grew up in a lot of abuse, and to see her blossom, and to watch her grow is spiritual healing i never expected, but will never cease to appreciate.

That is the kind of love every little (and big!) girl should know from her father.

Beautiful words and sentiments. Simply lovely.

How beautiful...for the love of a little hand.

When my first was born, I remember my father tearing up in the hospital, his rough hands holding that tiny quivering fist. He said, "Wonder what this little hand will see and do in this old world."

Priceless,
