The writing below, came to me as I watched my daughter de-plane at the airport after her absence of several years from home.

I was inspired by her return, and subsequently wrote this for her.

DAUGHTER RETURNS

In the depths of my heart
a murmur took up the beat

as a glow of love began to heat,

and fill my being with anticipation
that once again I would see

the sight of her so pleasing to me.

A void existing so deep
within the recesses of my soul

filled quickly, and once again I felt whole.

My Darling Daughter came in focus
and tears of joy cleared my sight

as her aura began to light

around her for all to see.

I love you sweetheart, you are everything to me.

Though I know the inevitable will come true,

I'll cherish this time my Darling Daughter with you
