The best gift ever

The Gods must have loved me a lot

for there is no other explanation that I can offer. 

From morning sunrise till the night sets in

it is an exhilarating ride forever.

 

The innumerable emotions sweep me in

like waves on a high tide.

And I smile back at them

taking everything in my stride.

 

The soft and smooth skin

that feels cool against mine,

The overwhelming bond of pure love

which gets stronger and richer with passing time.

 

The ups and downs that we face

together in this remarkable journey,

The smiles and tears hand in hand

as we go on through life’s greatest mystery.

 

And as I take yet another step forward

holding hands of my dear daughter

I realize with a strange pride and glee

that this is God’s best gift ever.
