I see the longing in your eyes
As I show you pictures of your mother
I hear the sadness in your little heart
As you listen to your mother's recorded singing
As do I little one, papa cries inside
I hear your silent wishes in the rain
Tears pitter patter as they hit the ground
Staining the earth
As you lost your mother's love
Don't cry little one
Papa's not far
Although I'm not perfect,
Nor am I a proper replacement for your mom,
Reach for the stars little one
Mother will grasp your little hands
The night sky is boundless
Just like your mother's love
The enchanting celestial beauty
She graces us her presence at night
In the heavenly bodies
Don't cry little one
Your mom is always watching you grow.

When the leaves fell
You were like a goddess in September
Autumn leaves covered your hair
Eyes bright like the sun
Loving smile like that of a mothers embrace
Bent through like a missile
Ripping through my heart
It was our paradise
Right out of heavens gates
Bestowed upon my very hands
Like sand running through my grip
Your beauty left me transfixed
One look too long
The next you were like a picture over melancholic fire
Turned to ash drifting on the wild wind out of my embrace
It's just like how the saying goes
All good things must come to an end.
I miss you dearly Jasmine, hope you're resting peacefully behind heaven's gates. Our daughter grows each day, looking more like her mother.

I see the beauty in your eyes
Like the cascading skies
The solitary rain came
Before the despairing pain
As your eyes lost glimmer
My world became dimmer
Grey and white
My eyes looked for purpose
Heart shattered into pieces
I roamed the boundaries of abyss
As my tears reminisced
Demons hissed in my ears
Cruel words of temptation

Forgive me my queen
As you left our princess in my hands
I'm sorry for my inadequacies
She looks more like you with each passing day
I look in the mirror and ask myself
Am I really good enough?
