For my Daughter

For my daughter Zoe on her sixth birthday

I think of you and how amazing you are

Six years ago today you were born

My beautiful little angel, my baby girl

You made me the luckiest father in the world

 

You always seem to amaze me

In everything you ever do

You always make me smile

I admit, I am so proud of you

 

You are so much like me

In so many ways

Your temper and competitiveness

Straight from my DNA

 

Today on your sixth birthday

I was so happy to be with you

I wanted to tell the world

Just how much I love you

 

For my daughter Zoe

Aaron, So many poems posted on WC are about fantasy, dreams and pain...this is so warm and fuzzy (a GOOD thing) it brought a tear to my eye. So genuine and raw, nothing pre-processed or overdone...just pure love from a dad to his precious daughter. I hope Zoe is as proud of her daddy as daddy is of her. Beautiful writing, my friend. take care...dan

Thank you Dan :) It's been a year since I wrote it but I'm still just as proud of her. She turned 7 already... years are flying by!

I Loved reading this. As someone with an incredible heart for children, I love to see Parents love for their children. I come from a home and a church that sees allot of foster children, so I love to be reminded that there really is some true, loving parents out there! :D

Thank you Savannah :) I love my girls... I am a proud daddy :)

That's so loveable and nice. I could sense your words came straight from your heart. Zoe is a wonderful name btw, I like it. :)

Thank you Vanessa. I loved the name Zoe so I made sure I got my choice :) My ex had some names picked out that I didn't like and my daughter fits the name Zoe perfectly :)

This is so lovely and so sweet. I am sure she is proud to have you as a father.

[AaronFreitas]

Thank you :) It was the year anniversary since I had written it for her so now she is 7 :)

I have an idea, what about putting the poem in a frame and giving it to her as a gift, I think it would be awesome.
