The sun is always rising from your pocket.
A song is ever frolicking in your hair.
The ground is perpetually dancing beneath your feet.
Delight is incessantly playing in your eyes.
And in shimmery rays of glory,
the color of life is forever found in you.

*Sunshine – the light given off by the star around which the planet Earth revolves.
(My daughter… you are this light).
The boy lived
With the hopes of wine
Something soothing
Something sublime
The boy hoped
For the love of her
Something different
Something sure
The boy loved
All the ease she brought
Something beautiful
Something sought
The boy eased
Into the life she rendered
Something exquisite
Something surrendered
The boy lived
Without the doubt he’d held
Something changed
Something expelled
The boy doubted
All the world would see
Something splendid
Something free
The boy whirled
With the joy he’d acquired
Something unexpected
Something required
