FOR MY DAUGHTER

Countless times I called your name,
When I start my day.
You were snatched away,
By forces greater than you and I.
I saw you only as a baby in your mother's arms;
Yet, as the years passed by,
I have ne'er close my eyes,
Without thinking of you,
In a reunion long overdue,
For you, yeah you and I.
Over time, I kept one sketched scene in memory:
The day you looked at me in a visit;
How your little eyes peeked thru, as if they knew.
Perhaps you may ask yourself:
"Does my father love me?"
Sweetheart, needless to ask such a question!
Today, I declare to them and to you,
That I've never loved anyone, as much, as you.
Believe me it is true.
Because I have nothing left to my name, but you;
When everything was removed from me,
I was chastised for my crime, in deep darkness,
That have sunk me mercilessly in the "Belly of the Beast".
Only one thought of you would carry me on a peaceful place,
In this dark nightmare and cold place,
Imagining the relationship we could have had;
And how I made it here, when I think of it all,
When any and all flicker of hope were erased in me;
And when any scintilla of faith were extinguished from me.
I will think of you in this place.
One glorious day, I saw your photo, your smile;
It was my "Guiding light", yet a simple image.
Suddenly, all the buried sentiments of you were re-energized,
Life had a new meaning to me,
Like a phoenix rising out of the ashe.
I began to replay those years we lost, of playing and laughter;
The sunny days in the park with you, on my shoulders.
My only prize, and "Pearl of Great Price";
I re-enacted the kisses. Oh the butterfly kisses,
Which I have missed at nights,
And the hugs in the evening times.
I've seen you racing to my awaiting arm,
I felt your soft arms, in a tight embrace,
When you are afraid of the dark.
I heard your little voice whispering "Daddy".
That sweet small voice was all the fuel I needed:
To push, and fighting in the great battle of "words":
The "Battle of David and Goliath".
Although, you can't understand right now.
I'll probably fall short to express this,
Because there are no words, or expression good enough.
This once again, I'll be at lost for words;
I started the search for something, someone I've lost,
And the answer was already within me waiting to explode.
To explain why, how the silver cord was cut,
Where do I begin? How do I start?
Wow! I was blind indeed, but now I see. Love.
My love for thee is eternal, limitless, boundless.
No my love is not restrained by physical structures,
Cause, no forces on Earth can separate "True Love";
The unconditional "Agape Love" one can only feel,
Agape force has its source from me to thee,
My one and only surviving "Seed"!
Saw the barrier of distance and time erected against us,
Like this steel and concrete wall, and the years,
Have not quenched my undying love for thee.
They have only intensified this Love that lay down quietly;
Yet sleepless, longing for the appointed time,
To burst forth, and overflowing like a flood'
O'er the walls of separation towered between us!
When Love and twins "Truth", on its wings "Justice" emerges,
They shall one day prevail, when it is told the "Truth";
Then to everyone "Justice" shall be served.
Half-truth is not "Absolute-Truth".
If from this text, you didn't retain anything, remember this:
When the uncut "Truth" is told, we shall be united.
They said: "Let bygones be by gones";
For your sakes I have left some issues alone,
Let what's in the past, remain in the past.
I was for you to see it as a sea of glass.
I believe we will both be on a "Cloud Nine".
Then no-one will be able to cloud your mind.
This I know, you are as beautiful, as you are bright.
For you are my seed from the beginning;
Then, you will look for me and find me,
For long as I searched for thee.
Because, the same spirit that's in me,
Is the same spirit that's in thee.
When the wheel of truth starts spinning,
Shall justice be served, and Love abound.
Cause Love tested by these infernal years,
Shall come forth as transparent "Gold"!
