I stand alone, at forty's door,
No thoughts of marriage anymore.
In solitude, I chart my course,
Dreaming of a daughter with boundless force.
I'll be her father, strong and true,
Her mother too, in all I do.
With each passing day, our bond will grow,
As love's gentle currents ebb and flow.
You, me, and the sea,
Your gentle words flowing free,
Like my feet in the sand, sinking slow,
In the sea's embrace, soft and low.
Your words, like whispers on the breeze,
Waiting to be set free with ease.
Toes twitching, ankles itching,
Salty water's playful stitching,
Around my legs, a tender plea,
Begging softly, "Stay with me."
How simple to let go,
To the water's ebb and flow.
Waves of words crash into me,
In our rhapsodic poetry.
Breathless on the shore we stand,
You, me, and the sea, hand in hand.
Oh, to dive into the deep,
Where secrets of the ocean sleep.
To feel the rhythm of the tide,
With you always by my side.
In this world of sand and sea,
Our spirits soar, wild and free.
With every wave, a tale is spun,
Of dreams and hopes and setting suns.
We'll build castles in the sand,
As the sun sets, hand in hand.
In the twilight's gentle hue,
A father's dream, a vision true.
I'll watch her grow, with pride and grace,
A shining light, in every space.
With strength and love, she'll pave her way,
A beacon bright, both night and day.
And as she reaches for the stars,
I'll stand beside, no matter how far.
For in her heart, she'll always be,
The best of both, her and me.
With wisdom of a father’s care,
And a mother’s love, tender and rare.
She’ll conquer worlds, and live her dreams,
With courage bold and hopeful gleams.
As time flows on like the endless sea,
She'll always have a part of me.
For in our hearts, we'll always be,
Just you, me, and the boundless sea.
Our love will grow, like waves in motion,
A constant, deep, and endless ocean.
Through every storm, calm, and tide,
My love for her will never hide.
She'll know she's cherished, every day,
In every word, and in every way.
For in this life, and all to be,
It's you, me, and our love, like the sea.
