because of you

for Hana my tough “don’t kiss me” daughter

for the first time in my life I understand “love at first sight”
for the first time in my life I am truly afraid
you have brought this fear, this love that will never fade or die
and as you grow my fear and love grow too

once you asked me why I worry so much
why I worry about “everything”
the answer is simple, without you I am no longer whole
without you my life would go on in muted grey

my life will never again be care free
but I will not die never knowing true and unconditional love
