The Music of Silence
Her world is silent and so is her music
but she dances as if all can hear.
Sometimes I join in to take part in her joy,
no matter how strange we appear.
She's only three and the love of my life,
my princess, my reason for living.
Her mother left me soon after birth
with a gift that keeps on giving.
I couldn't imagine life without her;
indeed, it would be empty and dull.
The music she hears playing in her head,
I, too, hear and it makes my heart full.
So, we will dance through our lives together,
because daddy will always be near.
No worries, just learning new steps
to the music that only we hear.
