Dispute as you might of the gifts passed in post
As a daughter will tell you of some more than most
A life’s journey to challenge the construction of norm
Skirt of pretty white cotton soaked transparent in storm

In reflection of absences grown and mature
Puddle jumping the tragedies sweet and demure
In her heart set a seed adoration by mere
That in dormant retained all this time we are here

From her father the seed planted deep in her heart
A creation of earnest condition impart
Simply quiet until the first blossom of love
In a spurt of a heartbeat measured everything of

The comparison striking on a memory note
From the gleam in his eye to words in his throat
An invisible guardian from an angel for sure
From up close or afar that reminder for her

Think it fiction or fancy as you like or you will
More divine in the giving yet on purpose and still
For without that so simple just a twinkle indeed
Then what would a daughter know to keep or to weed

Very nice!  Love that puddle jumping line the most!!

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

A very touching poem, indeed.  A great tribute.  You are so gifted in your words and your writing.  rhyming is a gift you do very well without ever sounding like you forced the issue.  It just flows and rolls right down the paper.  Superb.  A real keeper.
