Born to this world, that winters day A special gift, brought suns warming ray The miracle of life, a joyful gift to all A fathers proud moment, brings a smile to recall Remember that cry, that first breath of air Into this world you came, child without a care Wrapped with care and thrust into fathers arms That first moment, even then, undeniable charms Years now past since that faithful day Never been so happy that you came my way The suns warm rays, you they still follow You've grown and blossomed, seeking your tomorrow Our views they differ, rarely we see eye to eye Still I'll always be there, should you need to cry But through heartaches and pain we share this love A Father's Daughter, a truly special gift from above God grant me the serenity to accept the people I cannot change, the courage to change the one I can, and the wisdom to know it's me. ~Unknown |

EagleOne~ No one tugs dad's heartstrings quite the way a daughter does. I think they are sent to show dads the softer sides of love. Works, huh ? Beautiful and tender are your thoughts. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Oh man, do I ever appreciate this poem. I know just exactly how you feel. I only have one child, a daughter, everything you are saying throughout the lines I can relate to. The not seeing eye to eye etc. But I have to agree with you, the special magic of holding her for the first time.... can't be explained in this universe..... sincerely..........ethome |

If that was for your daughter I'm sure she loves you just as much! That was a nice way to express your love through this poem |
