Floating along the rippling waters
atop a lily pad had sprout
the delicate buds of my daughters
awaiting the breeze, leading to me
 
With time the winds blew 
they blossomed into my heart 
their vibrant colours shone through
forever imprinting onto my soul
 
They are my sun rise
with rays of sparkling light
emanating from their brown eyes
to the dimples of their smile
 
My solace through the rain
a lasting velvet embrace
makes me breath with ease again
for within my arms, they are my air
 
Beautiful petals formed of me
though they have now bloomed
I will always still see
the delicate buds, of my lilies.
