You used to be daddy's girl
I used to be your everything
You doctored me when I was ill
I followed you to distant lands
You made me laugh until I cried
I found my smile in your approval
My darling daughter
I fight every day to stay connected to your eyes
To keep my name and title alive
In your mind
On your tongue
In the air
To bring you ease and safety on a flying carpet made of rocks and feathers
My amazing Grace
I fight every day to see you through gilded eyes
As I run a race against time
Anchored to a past that slows me down
With chains of ash and smoke that dull my senses
Leaving me at the crossroads of truth and make believe
Of tears and smiles
Of duty and need
Of you and me on a warm Pasadena afternoon and the valley where you captured my heart forever
I look at you today, my Radiant one
And hope that you know without condition
That my love for you is constant
Is forever
Like God
And Light
And Air
And Life
It never ceases
It Never leaves
Is always here
Is Always yours
Always
Always
Always
Yours
Papa
