To My Precious Daughter

My warmest light

By Jesse LeePublished 10 months ago • 1 min read

Always my source of brightest light

At war with yourself, a constant fight

Charming always but doubts her right

To befriend the world that’s dark as night

How I wish to see you shine

And see yourself with eyes of mine

You are my source of joy and pride

Your radiance you should never hide

Please burn bright your mighty flame

And scorch the hate from other’s blame

The warm reflection of your true self

A torch that’s wasted left on the shelf

When life becomes too much to bide

Remember my love for you burns deep inside

Love, Dad
