How can I tell this tale
In ways that make it clear
When its not clear yet to me
But I know love awaits
When yet a girl I fell in love
Exciting, enticing
Spicy love
A real gift from above
In retrospect this love of mine
May have been one-sided
I since learned dear Dad of mine
Saw this but kept it quiet
I wish he’d told me what he saw
How he wished for me much more
His special girl should be a queen
Not just an object to be demeaned
Across the land, plains and hills
There comes a love for me anew
At long last someone with whom to share
Poetry and love and happiness
Enjoy.
