For Diana: Talented Dreams as Goals...

“...I drew them with gentle cords, with bands of love...”
—Hosea 11:4—





In the crowning of youthful splendor
She, a Child saw through a mirror
To the middle of her heart
her eyes so bright and innocent

As intense as downward drops
give way to clear walls of water
You formed a path for yourself

I gleaned on the other side beheld
Behold! One blissful youth’s dreams
as calmly as a leaf floating

A wind of promises on the leaves
dew drops carried forth on sleeves
of water
gently
A father’s care’s caressed

One day your dreams do come true
Just waiting upon the test of time

Youthful desires turned to real
And I pray you never lost your zeal
a zest for living in the present

This child is mine, so I thought
But her spirit beckon a naught
“I belong to no one but myself”
You say

no more clinging on
to Daddy
You Cry “...let me Go...”

Now I do know
No matter what you do
I’ll still love you
For
God’s work is always at hand

She will make you proud of her and letting go is necessary at some point. If raised right she will turn out o.k and with your blessings she will go far in her dreams. Good piece of work from you and take care. Love to your family.

Very tenderly wrought homage to your loved one, full of heart-felt emotion and joy. Lovely piece.

I really enjoyed this piece. There's a great sense of release instilled this poem. It's as if you're watching firsthand the nuturing of daughter as if she were a endangered species of bird. Then observing her growing stronger and developing a purpose for her life like wings. While her father is the releaser who has a great love to let go of her so she can fly away and share her dreams with the world. I commend you on your great words as a father and do take your bow brother!

We give them the skills to survive and thrive, but letting them take flight fills the heart with fright. Yet, knowing God is always around reminds me that He is a better parent than I could ever be. Still you hate to see them "fly"

We can only love them, guide them, love them, be available, love them, and be softly truthful with them. You've done well, indeed, here. She will be fine. Trust is your part to be given her.
