My daughter

 My Daughter

From the day I gave my time to you,
I learned that joy, peace, and love
exist only in your presence.

I knew one day,
you would find yourself,
but until then—
everything I’ve earned in this world
feels worth more,
because of you.

Since you came into my life,
I have discovered life anew.
Your face, changing day by day,
your little mischiefs,
your gentle love—
these are my greatest treasures.

Now, I no longer weep in pain,
nor dwell in sorrow.
Whenever sadness visits,
you scatter it like sunlight
with your smile.

Because of you,
I live in a heaven on earth.
Daughter—
you are the blessing
that comforts your mother’s soul.
