Since it's poetry month I thought I'd send you this. I can't rhyme my way out of a paper bag, so it is "free verse" This is me at a week old and my Dad, Elmo Giorgi

Daddy, Daddy Holding Baby Me 

by Leanna M. Ogle

Daddy what do you see?
A Daughter; a precious gift from above.

Daddy what will I be?
Sweet Girl, be anything you love.

Daddy what is the future to me?
Child, do not fret, the future is not here yet.

Daddy will you kiss a skinned knee?
Yes, Sad Little One, here’s a kiss for you to heal.

Daddy, can you help me climb a tree?
Heart’s Desire, I would lift you as high as to the moon.

Daddy, can you come to my party and have some tea?
My Blessing, such a celebration would be an honor to see.

Daddy, will you let me run so free?
Daughter of Mine, I wish to say no; but you’ll still go.

Daughter, daughter what do you see?
My Loving Daddy holding me.

Dedicated to Elmo Giorgi, my daddy in heaven, who waits for me.
