A treasured verse for a Daddy's girl to hold, read, re-read and smile at the thought behind the words. Then stored away forever in your heart, your father has touched you perfectly, because he loves you.

Asa,

The unfolding of your heart and your love for your daughter is much like that of a flower petal, opening slowly, but surely, revealing your love for your beautiful little girl. She will be so very proud of you when she is older knowing that you thought of her as your main feeling for living. This really touched my heart, Asa. I have long been a fan of your Mother's writings and am now a fan of yours.

God Bless,

Joy L. Hale

The power and beauty of love is awesome! This is truly a message inspired by God, who is love. May you and your family continue to be blessed.

This poem is simply beautiful, Asa, and so is your daughter for whom it was written.Continue to shine!

Thanks to Mom for sticking by her son. Asa, this is such a beautiful heartfelt poem. Being able to write all your poetry is a gift. I'm so glad that you love your daughter. She needs you to love her more than you can ever imagine.

Asa,
Beautiful and from the heart! What a beautiful and precious little girl, Asa. Keep your vision, my friend. Keep the faith that one day you will be able to spend all your time with her.

Many blessings,

'He' made me...to love you." Yes, He did. Very moving and hopeful. Never give up.

Asa,

God does love us all. It's essential. This is a beautiful poem.

Absolutely beautiful in its simplicity! I thoroughly enjoyed this penning & pray for Asa & his little girl. I have 5 sons & a daughter, one of my sons was incarcerated, and is now getting his life together. Blessings to you, as you champion & support Asa!

This is a beautiful tribute to you beautiful daughter from Her first love. This is a beautiful tribute to you as a father who loves his child like a parent should.

A BARING OF HEART STRINGS...PLUCKED AND SURRENDERED. MUCH APPRECIATED, ASA AND...UNDERSTOOD. THANKS FOR SHARING. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...JOYCE(MOM)*HIS INSPIRATIONS

Very Sweet! I wish Asa all the best and I will pray for him.

Such a beautiful poem and wonderful expression of love. Thank you for your review of my poem " Seedtime and Harvest" as well. You mentioned a line which reminded me of Romans 8:28 - And we know all things work together for the good to those who love the Lord and are the called according to His purpose. I would like to share this affirmation with you: Psalm 143: 8-12
Judith

Truly a gift from God, every child is. Asa, you probably sensed this from the time Shaniah was born, and as she grows and her life unfolds before you, you feel the love for her that God intended. I'm so glad that you are becoming more attuned to the heavenly realm as time goes on...so glad God has blessed you with this beautiful little daughter.

Love and prayers,
Connie

WOW. This poem is so profound! Its pureity and sincereity touch ones heart ! ASA , you are so gifted , keep writing and sharing ...I pray God will keep you in his care and make life just a little easier for you...MaryGrace

How beautifully put! I do believe God uses children to teach us of the love He has for us. Our lives change when we become parents. What a great gift a child can be if we only let them. God bless you & your daughter Asa!

this is deeply beautiful Joyce
your son is now in the place
where he can see without his eyes
and it is a beautiful place to be...
I don;t recall what incarcerated him
but I do hope that he & your family
will all continue healing as it is clearly'
evident he has his new awakenings deep inside
his heart & soul to write such a beautiful piece
of his heart...

Through Love's Tender Embrace
Vickie

So touching.

So beautiful.

...words are inadequate...

Bless Asa and his beautiful little girl.

They are blessed to have you. That is for sure.

HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!

Excellent and deeply moving, Powerful write Asa!
Be encouraged and may God continue to sustain
and renew your strength and give you courage each day!
For soon Asa you shall see the beautiful portrait
that God is shaping and molding to do His perfect
will! I am praying for you as never before....remember
prayer changes things!

Much Love,
Margaret

To understand our "place" and "purpose" gives life true meaning... and there is no greater meaning to life than love. To understand His love is Our love means that nothing can ever separate us one from another. Every moment in love is "now". Thank you, Asa and Joyce, for sharing your moments with us and each other for ever. This poem stands outside of both time and place but it written on and in a true heart. Bless you all. xx

Asa, poetry doesn't get much better than this.....lovely, heartwarming message from father to daughter! Keep writing; it is something you were meant to do.....very much enjoyed this!

Best wishes,
Anna

Absolutely beautiful. The Lord is working with you and through you now for the love of a beautiful little girl. Keep the faith. May God bless you every day of your life.

You are doing a wonderful job with posting the poems for you Son. You all are truly Blessed. This poem is Beautiful. Your Grand daughter has these special memories to Cherish.
Take Care
Steph

I've read several of the other poems by your son that you have posted, but I think this might be one of his best. When his daughter is old enough to appreciate it, she will know that, even during his struggles, she was loved. Dick

He made me to love you! so true and sweet. ~ Morgan
