My Daughter

my daughter 

MY DAUGHTER HERE I HONOR THEE
IS IT? BECAUSE LIKE ME?
YOU HAVE A PARENT TO RESENT,
A PARENT, WHO THOU WELLMENT 
DID PASS HIS WAYS ALONG THE LINE.
TO MAKE FAIR GROWTH A LETHAL MINE.
THAT SECRET THING THAT TROUBLES US.
TODAY, I BELIEVED.
 I LOVE MY DAUGHTER, 
AND LET GO OF THE THINGS AND FEELINGS
THAT STOPPED THAT LOVE FROM BEING SHARED,
I KNOW I HAVE TO TELL HER OF THESE THINGS AS SHE IS,
 WILL BE, A NEW AGE WOMEN.

 What are the shadows?
 That she hold fast 
 The ones to let go of, at last 
 Peace is in the letting go 
 If I could only let her know
 I’m in my shoes,    not hers 
 I may have worn them in the past 
 But her finding, is her path
 One day she’ll wish she had 
 Gone into that darkened place 
 And found the lighter side 
 With a welcome and a smile 
 Especially hoped for
 Before I die 
 But more important be 
         her finding of 
 Happiness, joy, and  fully free
