Poem #14 - Strong & True

There is a young woman out there that I did not pay enough attention too as she was growing up, and by the time I wanted to be a big part of her life, she had a life of her own.

Unfortunately her mother and I split when she was very young, and then with my own struggles and issues, life got in the way, and somehow she has come out the other side an amazing young lady

This is an ode dedicated to my daughter Tegan

Strong & True

In the passage of time, a young girl grown,

A unique spirit, a strength she’s shown.

Though the road was tough, I wasn’t always near,

She blossomed strong, her spirit clear.

Through the ups and downs we’ve faced,

Her resilience could never be erased.

From a tender seed to a soaring tree,

The girls spirit sets her free.

Strong and true,

I’m so proud of you.

Through the storms and the sunny skies,

You’ve grown into a woman wise.

She faced the world with courage bold,

A journey of discovery, a story to be told.

Though the past was strained, a bridge we’ll mend,

A connection reborn, hearts on the mend.

Through the years that swiftly flew,

She held her own, her strength anew.

With a spirit vibrant, a heart so kind,

The young girls spirit shines.

Though the path was not always clear,

Love guides us through, conquering fear.

A bond renewed, a second chance,

In her strength and grace, I find my stance.

Through the distance we have trod,

She bloomed into a masterpiece, a work of God.

With every challenge, she found her way,

That young girls spirit, an eternal ray.

So here’s a tribute pure,

To my daughter’s journey, her spirit sure.

The unique and strong woman she’s become,

In love and admiration, my heart is won.
