To Aimee:
My little girl
When I see your tiny face
Gaze into mine,
The serenity of your smile
Beckons me back to the egg.
The soft moist place
Warm and glowing
With heart beats.
When my face touches yours
I touch myself,
Your small fingers
So similar to mine,
Once so small,
Now so different.
Some day we both will talk
Then you will see me not as father, but as One.
The link inseperate
Yet never touching.
Your name means love
But your eyes say so much more.
Tenderly,
You grasp my finger
For some support.
So too,
At your marriage
I will give you away.
You have changed my life
In such a way as to release
The long trapped feelings
Of creation and perpetuation.
When I spoke to you,
Through your Mothers stomach,
You gently answered
In rhythmic tones.
Aimee, Aimee
A song of sound
Which sings out
Throughout my existence
Dear gentle child.
You are such a gift.
A small soft girl,
Intently gazing.
Your are a unique being.
Pressed to your Mothers breast,
The warm milk flowering over your lips.
Your eyes half closed,
Your hands warm.
I love you.....
You have altered
My being
So that I will never be
The same,
Thank God.
When I say I love you
It does not mean that
Everything will be yours,
Because it is,
But the meaning is
Much deeper than this.
Your heart shall be filled
Throughout your life
With a feeling of warmth
That can never be taken
From you.
When you need someone,
You will always find someone
To touch.
When you cry,
You will not be empty,
Because both of us
Will be hurt.
You are our first child
I held you seconds after
You came into the light
From your warm dark place.
Aimee,
Your father sees your smile
As he sees a sunny day.
Bright golden afternoon.
Let me hold you up
Above my head,
So you may see
Beyond the horizon.
The warm breast
Makes you once
Again slip into
The warm arms
Of Morpheus,
That mythological
Cradle.
How you have touched
Me
With your bright
Starry little secrets
Of happiness.
Please accept my
Love as a small
Share of your
Bounty.
Joyous little cherub.
I ask very little of you,
Touch the sky and
Find your essence,
Guard it and share it
With the people of
Your ever expanding world.
Stay childlike as you mature.
See the world with both eyes open,
Give everyone,
Throughout your life,
Love and understanding.
Love Dad
