To My Sweet Ella Rose With All My Love
There’s something about my love for my daughter,
maybe it’s all the lessons I have taught her.
Her bubbly smiles and ways only youth can display,
her growing independence, she’s too old to play.
Yes, there have been many times I have fought her,
but she shines like the constellations in array.
The angels danced when Ella Rose was born in sweetness,
now I shall confess she is my one true completeness.
A simplistic love we share with trust without obligation,
for I am so grateful for her God-given creation,
even though sometimes she wallows in discreteness,
I have full confidence she will show me appreciation.
As an infant she laughed at everything in sight,
those big brown doe eyes made everything all right.
Toddler years arrived with sassy days indeed,
but of course, me and her daddy met her every need.
For she is my saving grace, my eternal light,
I was born to give her roots as God planted the seed.
Her daddy will watch out for boys during puppy love,
as she will fall in deep with a boy she dreamed of.
Sincere adoration and complete devoted affection,
we share a bond beyond compare, a rare connection
she tells me girly secrets and when push comes to shove,
she is flawless to me even through imperfection.
She’s an aria of a melody with absolute splendor,
she can make a three pointer, yet so elegantly tender.
Her gifts of drawing and painting are excellent,
for she is my magnificence and has been heaven sent.
When she cries little girl tears on my knees I surrender,
trying everything in my power to heal her discontent.
I never knew a love could be so strong without romance,
and I am so grateful God gave me a second chance.
See I had a baby before her that gained angel wings,
now I have a sweet daughter and loveliness she sings.
There’s nothing like watching her graciously dance,
and oh, knowing she writes of such silly things.
I shall exalt Ella every day and nourish her necessities,
and show her my love and compassion shall never cease.
