OH SWEETNESS THY NAME MUST BE DAUGHTER!

OH SWEETNESS THY NAME MUST BE DAUGHTER!

 

A prestigious ornament has fallen into my palm:

With buzzing heart and twisting eyes,

Undisturbed by silvery stars and pleasantry moon,

Unseen by the lazy ocean and fancy falls,

Holding on to the trendy satellites and windy horizon,

Halting tenderly upon a bluish drop and reddish troop,

Imparting an insinuating glow to the prettiest rainbow,

Accompanied by the celestial faerie in an angelic commend,

That sky-mermaid had elegantly descended,

My goodness, how a temporal capture would engrave it to be presented!

 

Don’t label this heavenly edition as my daughter:

I didn’t choose it but it had generously chosen me,

I had the language of tears to match it up with her loaded cry,

She was as light as the birds immaculate wing,

And as knowledgeable as the tribal king,

She was a cosmic gold but I made her a part of this material world,

Produced a lightning laughter and reduced my mundane bothers to a slender,

Had a wisdom to be curious and unmediated freedom to be furious,

Her growth was gradual and that appeared to be an unpolluted ritual,

Her talk was beyond textual and her walk had been a magical sequel!

 

Her kick always made my belly hypnotically full:

And her droopy kiss has been godly bliss,

Her cling around my neck has been sensational trick,

I have chest for her to rest and her hug will offer a test,

Her mouth spilt morsel is on par with the food cooked by the danazol,

Knew how to make me her son by dragging me into her artistic den,

Told me to celebrate incoherence and her anxious wait has been a steering occurrence,

Wiped away my fed-up and that has been her inexhaustible stuff,

In charge of making the house untidy and does that well this little lady,

Your incessant touch has made me young, left with your smile alone to grow strong!
