Her strength amazes me
Poised beauty, witness to the last chapter
Even when anger, anguish, and sorrow roll down her face
All but overflow
Her stregth, inspires me
Plagued by doubt and fear
Still she supports, loves, understands
Her strength, gifted selflessly
Standing ever vigilant over her mother
You can feel her willing life
The drive to go on
I have never been in such presence
Like watching a sun flower bloom in winter
Blazing, fierce, unyielding
Transfixed, I am. Pondering why I stay
Powerless, awkward, in the way
She accepts an inhuman burden, smiling
Then I see her eyes
Unsure, scared
Yet resolved
My gift, compassion, love, hope
Expressed in a look
Another moment, and gone
She is strength, I will be resolve
She is the pillar, I the platform
Watching and sensing her devotion
Beauty manifest
Blessing of something greater
I am allowed as witness to this testament
This gift so very rare
Whatever needed, whatever asked...
Without question
This is written
Honoring
A DAUGHTER'S LOVE
