O' Emily... If I close my eyes... I can see you. I can see your beautiful blue eyes staring back at me from your mommas chest in the hospital room. I can see your first steps... your clumsy wobble accross the kitchen into your mother's arms... I can hear the first coherent daddy that brings a tear to my eye and a warmness in my heart that was indescribable.
O' Emily... to the essence that is you and all you mean to me!-
O' Emily... For everything you stand for and represent...
To the miracles of Life-
I can see it in an Early morning Sunrise...
I can feel it in a warm Winter breeze...
I can taste it in a cup of Early morning Coffee...
I can smell it in a Rich Pumkin Spice...
O' Emily... I can picture you opening your first Christmas Present... and your first day of Kindergarten... I would've came in and sat next to you if they would've let me...
O' Emily...
I am reminded often
of your smile.. and soft chuckle of your laugh..
O' Emily I wish you were here with me.. I wish I could come pick you up from school and take you to lunch...
I Wish I could take pictures of you and your date on Prom night... And I wish I could be there to see you off to College... and I wish you trusted me enough to cry on my shoulder when your heart was broken for the first time...
And I wish I could be there to walk you down the aisle...
O' Emily... In my Dreams of Nostalgic Memories and Passionate Principles, lies an Emotional Ecstacy that's breaches my Mental Capacity and am forever Dumbfounded at the thought that no matter How you turned out, or Who you became as a person.. I Would Love You All The Same!..
I would Be there for Every "Blowing-out" of the Birthday Candles... Every School Recital... Every Concert , and Every Play...
Or...
I would understand completely if none of those things even interested you...
Whatever you chose Emily... I remain forever in your corner...
I still maintain hope that I may meet you one day...
O'Emily...
And if that day comes my dearest Child... I shall teach you the Best way I know how... I shall treat you like the Queen of all Princess's... and I shall never leave your side...
I shall Love you the only way I know how.
O'Emily...
in a World of Chaos...
Bright bursts of Starlight,
and Time approaches SuperNova...
I Await you Emily... and the Love of your Darling Mother... I Whisper in the wind for you to come find me...
My most precious of memories I have not yet had...
The Light of my Life...
The Reason I am here...
O'Emily...
In my head... I think of you...
and at night... I dream of you...
and the Life that we could have...
I'll never forget you...
I still hope someday I'll meet you...
O'Emily... the daughter I never had...
