for Delilah

Her tiny hand wraps around my finger

She gazes up at me with hazel-hued innocence

To her, I know it all - I have all the answers

To her, I am a superhero - I have no fear

To her, I hold the universe

I gaze down with a head full of worries

I seek the peace that emanates from her smile

To me, she is comfort - her hugs mean everything

To me, she is happiness - she fills my heart with joy

To me, she is the universe
