Two daughters

sorenbarrett

First

Loved you from the start, a sunbeam that had pierced my heart
Like the sun through clouds of gray, gave light and warmth to my day
Your mother incarnate, you are a part, nothing but happiness did impart
Your faults in my blind eyes decay and into dreams melt away

 

Second

You're the piece of me I lost but with your mother's eyes
The only piece I ever loved, hiding in your disguise
Bits of dreams never fulfilled, clouds of hope unseen 
A dewdrop distilled, with the shadow of a queen

              Soren,
              Beautiful expression of a father of daughter(s). I have found that the two might even be one but at different times. A parents love and longing for his children’s success and their presence in his life, never wanes.

              • sorenbarrett

                A brilliant interpretation about it being about one at two different times. This shows the different ways of interpreting a poem and how it affects different people differently and all are right for each person. Your visit is deeply appreciated and your comment is most highly valued

                Parental love is different, being a parent of two adult daughters, this really resonates. The love is equal and yet different people equal different expressions of that love. This moved me, my friend. A most wonderful write! 🌹👏
