I love you, not just because you’re
perfect, (and you are) daughter of mine
And it’s not just that you are mine
It’s that you are here and you are you
for no other reason am I crazy in love
with your: peach fuzz hair, rose petal
ears, camellia bud nose, petunia lips,
lotus blossom navel, iris bulb knees and
corn blossom toes Did I
omit anything? You smell sweet
like a real live healthy human baby
You snort and squawk and make
chipmunk sounds, my little blue duck
you’re driving me wild with love It’s
just because I am here and I am myself
God gave us the great gift of being together
I love you just because
