Vaeh's Poem

Inspiration and innocence and you
And everything I once was, now undone
In you eyes lies truth and wisdom
Where did you come from, my little one?

I can see all the answers in your eyes
Knowing of unknown, I see as you smiled
Your understanding yet inquisitive stare
Where did you come from, my little child?

Your little face and frame change so fast
Yet great mysteries still lie in your gaze
I see hints of wisdom from decades past
Will I understand one of these days?

I watch you grow so fast, so strong
Yet the light in your eyes never fades
Together we play, love, belong
As the knowing you’ve shared pervades

We laugh, we cry; we live, we learn
We sing, dance, read, jump and twirl
You’ve taught me to live, have patience, forgive
Where did you come from, my little girl?

I want to protect you, teach you direct you
And I know this is no easy feat
Just always remember you can be anything
So who will you be, my sweet petite?
