My Hero

She is but eleven

She is my angel sent from heaven

She came to me at the tender age of twenty-one

She gave me reason not to run

She kept me grounded

She was the reason my heart pounded

She made my life brand new

She healed my heart through and through

She showed me how to love

She showed me what that stuff is made of

She keeps me on my toes

She won’t allow me to wallow in my woes

She senses when my spirits are low

She will never let it show but

She always seems to know

She amazes me every day she grows

She knows when to lean in and give me a hug

She knows when I’ve had a bad day and not to bug

She jumps in before I ask

She completes every task

She excels in academics and dance

She shows me what can be if given a chance

She picks up my good bits and pieces

She continues to leave me speechless

She always wears a smile

She is my amazing child

She is my first, no one is above

She is my first true love

She is my daughter Alaya

Before her I was a zero

She is my only HERO
