When I look at me,
deep into my eyes
a gaze of wonder,
Who is this?
Too young to know,
who just learning every day
to laugh as well as cry
her needs seem simple,
but are complex
than i can comprehend.
When I gaze back at her
I see a light not seen before
a beacon of radiant love
a flame of joy illuminating me
a stranger,
she came into my life
and changed it in ways she cannot know
Perhaps,in time
we will truly exchange the glance,
for who is this?
but so much I know already
this girl has strengthen my spirit
and given me hope to drive out the darkness
that once engulf my soul
