A POEM FOR AXELU

A POEM FOR AXELU

SHE MAY GET AWAY FROM MY SIDE, BUT SHE WILL NEVER LEAVE MY HEART

Down the labyrinthine path

She travels far and wide

While my mind seeks meaning

Meandering, seeking

Soon, she’ll awake and see

Why hearts are drawn to last

Leaving the world of fantasy

Like a wind, it sails so fast

 

She’ll learn that days are hot, nights are cold

She’ll learn the labors of the old

The heart with care is strong by a need

And is strengthened by trials’ gentle knead


She’ll turn hopes into destiny

Caressed by the breeze she will be strong

Fortified by pain and augury

She’ll be my twilight’s favorite song


As day after day, the fates unfold, 

she paddles her canoe

Bravely she sails enduring the cold

To learn, unlearn: to know


 She’ll find, find her destiny

And wishes upon a star 

Hope inflames the sky at night

Whenever the stars shine their light

It’s a father’s well-wishing prayer for her daughter as she sets off on her journey through life. Bon voyage Axelu.
