Shining Star
How bright you are since you joined me on Earth as my shining star.
From that day when you were first just a twinkle in my eye
I knew then that you would send your beams of life out so very far,
and now you touch the whole universe without having to try.
With you my body and soul is overflowing with pure sublime delight.
I could never have dreamed this emotion if I had lived to the end of time.
For one so small to give so much, with only a smile and eyes so bright
I will try to give back what you have given me, oh daughter of mine.
