My Daughter
Not yet held
in my arms
but nestled
in my heart.
Your sweet soul
already occupies
my thoughts,
and a place
in my heart
has been carved
to your exact dimensions.
Your heart beats
in the belly
of my beloved
to the rhythm
of God’s creation song.
He breathed
breath of life
in you,
awakening your soul.
He sings
words of love
over you,
crafting your body.
Words fail
to express
how much
I already love you.
I wrote this poem to the day we found out that we were having a girl. This precious girl is now nearly two years old. And I am so proud of who she is.
Such a beautiful poem Noah. You are clearly a loving father and an eloquent poet.
