Your Father's Daughter

Your Father's Daughter

Draw your energy
from the Sun and
harness the Moon
when the day is done

Know your worth and
accept life’s call,
you’re your Father’s
daughter, after all

So believe in what
you know to be
good and true, no
matter what they
say about you

Back up and double up
and take it head on,
for that’s when your
spirit is truly shone

For my Dad, Sam West
I miss you, Mayor

Wishes

Wishes
Know me now,
my taste,
my touch,
the softness
of my kiss

Hold me tight
as lovers do,
without speaking
a single word

Feel my body
respond to you
as my breath
quickens

Bring me to the
brink of ecstasy
on waves of passion
surrendered

I will find joy
in a contended smile
and the slowing of
your breathing

Watch my face in
afterglow and
snuggle closer still
