to my daughter

you are dreams
hopes untarnished
so many days

you spend filled
each with new discoveries

every leaf that falls
at the end of the seasons
is to me at best the dirt in waiting for next spring

to you they are new
full of colors you didn't expect
shapes without names
more and more things to learn

to enjoy
process with purpose
and not just motions

you can hear me
as I want to be heard
as I want to inspire

you can see me
as I can best be
you can forgive the failings
I have
and still love and admire me

you take in all the best I want to pass on
and add you own knowledge and innocence
and retool it to fit the world you are growing

you inspire
me and a world that waits
to know you
