My Daughters My daughters have large wings to me That I must catch to kiss you see They fly a world of mental prime Horizons of beyond my time They are to me new butterflies That fly new fields of green where lies Their future and their fantasies Their very own eternities It gives me pause to see them go When curtains close upon my show My paint brush and my words of choice I leave them with my poems of voice Of all the works I did mandate You are the best of my create And memories stay my heart piled high Some of which off make me cry You are the flowers of my season I love you both beyond all reason |

This means so much more to me now, than if I had read it back years ago when I used to visit this site. My wife and I recently had our own Daughter, and see brings a whole new perspective to my life. |

I never had a dad around to love me the way your love your daughters. But I have two daughters (and a husband who has no use for poetry) and this is absolute keepsake treasure! We might fade away and words from paper, but this is forever. ~ Karen |

Good morning, Mr. T.! IWIHWT ~ I wish I had written that! Like you, I have two daughters and I feel the very same way about them. You expressed what is in my heart for them. Thank you! I shall have them read what you have written for your own. ~ and say that's ditto from me to them! It appears that they are as fortunate to have you as you are to have them! God bless you all! Loving Light, Linda |

Truly beautiful and heartfelt. Your daughters are obviously as lucky to have you as you are to have them. |
