She thinks I can pick up mountains
And walk on the deepest of seas
Walk through a column of fire
Handle all problems with ease
My princess says, "Daddy can run fast,
Shoot out the stars in the sky.
Turn off the light on a bright moon,
Make twinkles in my hazel blue eyes"
She tells friends I protect her from monsters
They run when I walk in her room
I can make clouds move with a whisper
Sweep floors without using a broom
My lullabies can't be sung better
By anyone better than me
My kiss on her cheek brings her comfort
My touch helps my baby go to sleep
If only she knew of my weakness
The tears I cried at her birth
The pain I'd feel if I lost her
My life would no longer have worth
My strength is to know that she loves me
Determination when I look in her eyes
Perseverance just to know I'm her daddy
Weakness when she tells me goodbye

This has to be one of the most amazing poems I have ever read! It is what I thought of my father, and my mother really, but never would be able to express like that. I read it knowing that my own daughter feels this way of me, and that I hope every day I can live up to her expectations.
Thank you for sharing it.
Thank you Anonymous! That means a lot to me...
