A poem for my oldest daughter. Kim I tried to write a poem of Kim But love was all I found within It filled my heart it filled my mind So there was nothing left to find. I searched and searched to find a door To open and to find some more But every nook and cranny found Was fully crammed and fully sound. When all at once it came to me The answer was so plain to see I'd borrow on my future time However I could ring her chime. There, I found a world of stars From each new act that would be ours. I searched to see where echoes lie And savored them, as they flew by. Thus I've flown the abyss of time Made love of now and future mine. |

The tenderness of a father to his daughter is so very moving to me and has always been something I have longed to be a part of. Seymour, you've written this so beautifully for her, and I have felt every word. ~ Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |

Beautifully done for a beautiful daughter. I recently posted one for my daughter and after I was through, I ran a copy of it and framed it for her. She loved it. Daughters are cherished angels. didi |
