our bodies,
which were once one
fit together still
your little head
tucked perfectly against me
little fingers picking
at the softness
of my sweater
we were meant to be together
you and i
our differences more similar
our similarities more different
you mirror to me
all of my hopes and dreams
my strengths
my weaknesses
my fears
from whence you came
you shall never fully return
but my heart
and yours
shall remain
connected
as you reach out into this world
exploring
growing
learning
in your own way
because of me
despite me
to spite me
regardless of me
learning
stumbling
more than others
perhaps
finding strength
more than others
perhaps
overcoming
all obstacles
never alone
always with my heart
connected
my strength
connected
my happiness
connected
my love
connected
to you
little toes
pressed firmly
against warm
weathered flesh
little heart
pressed firmly
against warm
weathered heart
giving
taking
connecting
loving
learning
teaching
you are
my daughter
