The Same Shine : Friendship Poetry

written by Poet : AKFlyypoet


 

 

(for my God-daughter Toya)

 

Sunday evening has got me believing in the power 

It was a heavenly when I got lifted that hour 

Smile was all I could do, it all because of you 

How could I love a child I did not give birth to? 

One door closed and all the windows flew open 

You taught me to give, live hope and my heart 

Holds a special place for you 

I know I’m not your mother, but I love you too 

She was the vessel and God blessed her womb 

She must have read poetry every Sunday Afternoon 

You came into my life just as you were, no game 

This is the truth and you never changed 

You gave unto to others even before yourself 

I often thought you would have given 

Your very last breath 

Generosity is how you live – God granted you a gift 

Therefore you give 

I need a moment to reflect – to keep my heart in check 

When my daughter left me with an empty nest 

You kept me focused- oh- I digress-many are good in this world but my dearest Toya you are the best! 

I love you like my own, this you must have known   

I pray you always find favor wherever you may go 

Knowing you share this air with me 

Makes Alaska where I want to be 

Your hugs are special and I love them all 

If ever you need me, just call 

 

I believe in you like stars made by the Creator 

He gave you the same shine – you were born to be greater 

I don’t mind being the wind beneath your wings 

Your daughter is one of my favorite things 

Poetry is the link that binds us 

Haikus – prose- and rhymes- are us 

I see you accomplishing your hearts desire 

Keep mending broken wings and you will fly even higher 

I have watched you grow into a beautiful young Queen 

Hold on to your throne and follow your Dream 

Stay true to this thing our gift is divine 

 You were my life line and – we have the same shine
