the daughter

art-2-8-of-14.jpg

we crossed your love with my desire
i spun my faith through your fire
and yours spun through my water.
in the hills her soul found ours,
her voice was mist and trills.
we knew her by her laughter.

  6. Before I was born, my dad knew that he would have a daughter. I am the third child and I have three brothers. I think my dad desperately wished for a girl after two boys and got it.

    He used to say, daughters choose their parents.

    “in the hills her soul found ours,”

    This describes the same sentiment…

    However, a child is special..be it a son or a daughter….
