This child who is my mirror
Reflecting starlight and suns
Brighter than mine
Who am I to comprehend her?
Double helix uncoiled, split
Heart beating in two places
Daughter's shadow has more grace
Than my substance, I fear
To make her laugh
Is grace for a lifetime
See her smiling
Is a thousand suns
Warmth and light, radiance,
In her coltish presence
My heart a sunflower
Ringing like a bell
