Daughter

To my daughter

Daughter

When I die
Give my poetry to my daughterĀ 
I want her to get to know my inner thoughtsĀ 
To get to really know her father

When I’m goneĀ 
May my poems motivate and guide youĀ 
Let the pages be my soul
And you can always take me with you

When I dieĀ 
Just know that each poem
Is a part of me
Pieces of a puzzleĀ 
Like a painting you alone were meant to see

When I’m goneĀ 
Know that my favorite poems I never put in writingĀ 
InsteadĀ 
Its in the memories of the times I spend with you
In your heart is where you’ll find me

When I dieĀ 
If there’s anything you take from me
Let it be that your the author of your book
And the writer of your story
Ā D.Christian

Hello Durley...

Welcome to Cosmo!

I'm sure your goal is too watch her grow up...

I'm sure that beautiful one will know about you but, having you is always the best way to know you...

Not just being able to read what you left behind...

Great write!

Thank you for sharing...
