Daughter

          Dear daughter,

         I stumbled upon your port a day gone by,

my heart cried. Honey, you will never be alone

as long as I breathe. I know the feeling that is

in your heart, the feeling dwells in my heart,

also.

         I read your work every chance I get. The

ghost who left its tracks upon your port carries

my name. You are the daughter I prayed for, you

are my first born. Our heavenly father in his

wisdom and mercy has given you to me in answer to

my prayer. My heart is forever tied to yours.
