My Little Angel – Monochromes in a Colourful Mind

She is my daughter, my joy, my light

And I will love her always, with all my might.

In the morning, as I left for work,

She would wrap herself in my sweatshirt,

She wears my sweatshirt like a hug

A reminder of her place in my world,

A symbol of our unbreakable bond,

She fills my heart with unconditional love,

And a joy that is always growing beyond.

And when I returned at the end of the day,

She greeted me with stories in her own unique way,

Enthusiastic, exuberant, full of life,

Her energy and curiosity cutting through any strife.

Her voice, so full of life and wonder

Brings me to the edge of tears

As she recounts the day’s adventures

As she grew, so did our love,

Stronger and deeper, like a force from above,

Her perspectives and experiences so pure,

Unquenchable, untameable, uncontainable

And so I watch her grow, my heart overflowing

Filling my soul, and being with joy that endures.

I am left in awe of her strength, her courage

She grows with each passing day

Now she stands tall, a woman in her own right,

I suspect, still wearing my sweatshirt on some nights,

But the bond we share goes beyond any clothes,

A love that continues to blossom and grow.

She is the reflection of the love we share

With gratitude for every moment we exchange

For every lesson she teaches me

For every smile she brings to my face

I love her unconditionally
