A Letter for Emily

Baby blue eyes, like the bluest skies.

I love to see them fill up with surprise.

Thank you for the ways that you have made me wise.

'Cause I love you in ways that only I can describe.

You're the only one who can calm my cries.

Every time I hear your voice it makes me smile inside.

I'm sorry when I yell and it makes you cry.

It's too easy to blame it on my stressful life.

It hurts me too, but it will be alright.

I'm always your Daddy at the end of the night.

I love you in ways only a father can write.

Whenever I am wrong, I will make it right.

I've waited all of my life to see a star this bright.

I've never been the same since you came into my life.

I will help you to succeed with all of my might.

It may seem a bit extreme, but you're the reason for my life.

In this life, a darkened tunnel, you are my only hope of light.

When we are together, it just feels so right.

You are my lone beautiful rose in this land of blight.

I love you in ways only a father can give light.
