To My Daughter
My darling Daughter, from your birth,
Till today I fight for our worth.
Our special moments, mentally recorded,
For us now limited time, afforded.
Our happiness, your innocence when together,
This reality, I store, Iām at my ends tether.
Sadness inflicted by mother and in-law on our relationship,
Indoctrinating your young mind with a guilt trip,
Call me not daddy but my name,
Donāt hug or kiss me, what a shame.
In their sight you pretend no love,
When together there is nothing more above.
24 plus 5 now the time has passed,
Ā Not sure how much more pain, stress I can last.
Only six and all you want is Love and Care,
My Angel with you this, I want to share.
Your smiles and happiness save me, when not here,
Your love, innocence, my right direction steer,
I hope the damage done is not severe,
For this I will never forgive for sure.
When you visit, sad to happy instantly,
Running and laughing blissfully.
I see you upset when you leave,
For this sadness I do grieve.
Legal and professionals litigate to assist,
Sexist system, Iām a male, without care all resist.
Special memories and time with you lost,
All this thus far, a huge cost.
Money is nothing and materialistic,
Importantly, for you my love is realistic.
For you I will never give up,
You will understand when grownup.
To us and our future, I remain,
Full of hope and without pain.
We will look back and reflect,
Build new memories and sadness forget.

Thank you for your comment Jai - The fight will continue will continue - so will the poetry about my plight until all resolved.
Oh Mark!! this is so beautiful and a stunning tribute to your gorgeous little girl, you are quite right, when she is old enough to understand she will know of your love and devotion and she will always treasure the love between you and will always be close to her precious daddy. It is horrible when some people use their children as pawns in their fights to punish the other ex partner and it`s so damaging when one tries to turn the child against the other parent. Your ex will one day realize what she has done and I just hope that she has the sense to put it right in the end and I hope that your daughter can forgive her and move on with your help, and just enjoy having her daddies love and devotion as I`m sure she will. It is your love that will get her through all that turmoil and you will one day both be happy and feel secure again, you can be sure of that. Many children go through this awful pain but they surprise everyone by their resilience and ability to get through it, so just keep showing her your love and support. God bless both of you and I`m sending you much love and if you ever need to talk I`m here for you as I`ve come through the same thing myself sweetie and I know what you are both going through.
Many hugs
