A Part Of Me

For Rachel, my daughter

Sweet child of mine,
I see your smile.
I see the sparkle in your blue eyes,
yet you're not there.

Yes, you're not here my child.
Though I always have you in my heart.
You're always with me.
Even though we are apart.

We are apart, a part
of a family line.
I have seen within the eyes,
with these eyes, the eyes of our generations.

Generations come from your smile.
The smile I do not know.
I see the blue in your blue eyes.
My sweet child.
