The sky feels small, mountains short,
oceans minuscule, the earth small,
To describe the unending love, a fort,
a fortress of love standing tall.
Like the great white moon veiled in ghostly shrouds,
never taking credit for its borrowed light,
it glows for the world, yet hides from the crowds—
love unseen, yet endlessly bright.
The architect of light, an echo only it receives,
a painter who signs no name, giving and giving,
the whisper of the strongest storms,
silently speaking the greatest words, driving the best intentions.
I used to think of you as the one who carried the world,
never cracking under the strain- my hero;
Yet now I know, all you've carried is me,
My biggest supporter, my pillar of strength.
The first one my eyes ever met, I knew somehow,
you’d go to the world’s edge for your little princess.
And I would too—nothing could I ever adore more.
I hope this light of your eyes never fades,
forever filled with the classic dad jokes,
the unfading humour, unfailing to make me smile,
to light up the seemingly endless darkness.
all gone within seconds since you said 'I love you'.
We laugh, we fight, you tease without end,
and I know I’m not always easy to comprehend—
But I hope you see, through all I do,
There's nothing of greater value to me,
nothing that could ever replace you.
I strive to be worthy of your love,
I live to make you proud as you look at me,
and say, 'Darling, I'm so proud of you'.
The best compliment I could ever hear is,
'You smile like your father', why, yes,
I do, but never the same as you do.
I play your songs and wear your smile,
a little too wide, a little too much like yours.
You’re the rhythm I move to, the reflection I grow into,
and nothing makes me happier than you.
You mould me every day into a better person,
into a girl with the best thoughts, yet the most devious smile,
all inherited from you.
