Love Poem: My Hero

My Hero

My hero

She is but eleven She is my angel sent from heaven She came to me at the tender age of twenty one She gave me reason not to run She kept me grounded She was the reason my heart pounded She made my life brand new She healed my heart through and through She showed me how to love She showed me what that stuff is made of She keeps me on my toes She won't allow me to wallow in my woes She senses when my spirits are low She will never let it show but She always seems to know She amazes me every day she grows She knows when to lean in and give me a hug She knows when I've had a bad day and not to bug She jumps in before I ask She completes every task She excels in academics and dance She shows me what can be if given a chance She picks up my good bits and pieces She continues to leave me speechless She always wears a smile She is my amazing child  She is my first, no one is above She is my first true love She is my daughter Alaya  Before her I was a zero She is my only HERO Lay
