Reasons Three

I have three daughters,

three gorgeous little girls.

They seem to be my reason

for being in this world.

Ask me what I do,

and I will tell you I am a dad.

Spend some time with me,

and see why I am so glad.

My oldest daughter, Breanna

is where I would have to start.

Already a little woman,

she captivates my heart.

She has got that look, you know..

the kind all woman have.

It doesn’t take me long

to figure out where I stand.

In the middle is Janelle,

my artist savant.

She lives in her own world,

without many needs or wants.

She is as happy to be here,

as she is to leave,

and she knows in a second,

when there is something up my sleeve.

A delicate flower,

she blooms as she grows,

where she stops,

nobody knows.

Sarah is the last of these jewels to come along,

and you always hear her singing her song.

Innocent and unassuming,

she will steal your heart,

To keep on loving her,

is as easy as it was to start.

Already so full of life,

with so much to give,

I pray that se will find a way,

her life to live.

The third musketeer,

for these sisters three,

and the third precious jewel,

that God has given me

There is nothing so clear in my world as this,

that I would trade it all for a simple goodnight kiss.

For the knowledge that they are safe and happy in their own world,

and to be able to know the women that will come from these little girls.

I Love You All

All The Time

With All of my Heart!

Dad

Isn't life crazy? I wrote this at a time when I was not able to see my three daughters. I did not even know what state they were in or how they were doing. I do not think I will ever be able to find words that can express the deep, crippling pain that this produced in my life.

Now I have Reasons Four, with the arrival of my beautiful daughter Madison. My girls are all either living with me or they are very close. We talk every day. I feel complete and I am daily reminded of my purpose and my rewards in this crazy life!
