"Oh My Daughter and
"Oh the happiness of my heart"

The Tree of Life
I lacked;
God sent
You.
Known fact
I see
That
All here
Is rushing
Water;
Its source?
You, only
Daughter.
You make
Chipped souls
Whole--
Broken, old
Ones like
Me.
They say
Our eyes
Match.
I think
Our hearts
Align.
In graceful,
Knowing ways,
You
Make my
Here Now
True.
