You Are My Daughter

My Daughter

 

 

 

 

You are of me every filament

You are everything I will never be

You have never let me down and

     have always lifted me up higher

You are strong in your spirit of life

     but tangibly not as most are.

I am of you every filament

I am everything you will never be

I have never wanted to let you down

     but the day will come when I do

I am not as strong as you in spirit

     but tangibly I am more than most.

I am determined to see to it that I

     do not lose you

You are determined to see to it that you

     will not give up

I am the voice of reason and logic

You are the voice of hope and faith.

This is one of the most beautifully-stated messages I've read about a father-daughter relationship. Here's what makes your tribute especially appealing: You do not place yourself above your daughter, or she above you. I love the way you present each of your strengths, yet without any hidden tones of comparison or judgment. Your message uplifts you BOTH in separate & unique ways, this being culminated in the last 2 lines which are awesome. Any daughter would be totally blessed to have such a father.

Welcome Friend!

Extraordinary words, finely expressed, but bewildering. For some reason, mainly the following, ' I am determined to see to it that I -- do not lose you .. ' , they strike me as a plea, as if you are afraid you beautiful daughter is gradually becoming lost to you. Pray i'm wrong. For me, thisr poem is sadly beautiful.

I like that it involves something that most parents fear will happen to their children, that they'll fall off the right road. I really enjoyed it, thank you for sharing.

she is quite lovely and this tribute is exquisite in its presentation...how you revere her strength and how you hope never to let her down, but know you might.

what you present here is the humanness of life and love between parents and children...
and how they want acceptance, love and most of all to find encouragement, faith and hope in each other's
spirit.

This is a poem about my daughter and me. The strength and struggles of living and coping with her disease, Cystic Fibrosis.

Sorry for the delayed response, yes it is. If you look at my review at the top it explains things somewhat.
