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

This is a honest and tender write. Her Father taking the time to admire her young life is one of the greatest presents one could ever give. I hope Zoe had a memorable birthday. :)
