Soul Child

Yours.
In your eyes I saw it.
When you carried me on your shoulders
Sky high.
I felt it.
Giggling while holding onto your tree stump legs
Bouncing on your knees.
1 little, 2 little.
I was yours.
Soul Child.
Daughter of yours.
Daughter of the Moon and stars.
Daughter of those who let me go.
For awhile daughter of no one.
Then you picked me up.
Our hearts found each other.
Beating to the sunshine.
You signed papers
proving to the world
and the universe
that I was yours.
Not DNA.
Not magic or dreaming.
Just a simple meant to be.
Waiting patiently for your
guidance, wit and wisdom.
For our souls to dance on Earth
for awhile.
Yours always Dad.
Even without you here
I’m still your Soul Child

Written to express how I felt my connection with my Dad (who adopted me as a baby) wasn’t a fluke or accident.
