‘Daughter’

‘The Viking’s Daughter’
by Frederick Stuart (1842 – 1924 American)

Daughter holds an innocence,
within her fragile blossoming
which carries the essences
of trust, of beauty, of love,
all within her flowering.

May Daughter call you
to the wonder of her youth,
the magic of her days,
of color and light,
and sense, and sight.

May you watch for her,
as she grows to become,
may you remember her,
as you grow to become
the promise she keeps
