All I See When I Look at Her

photo by Caleb Woods

I look at her and

—see the world a better place

—see her mother

—see myself

—remember my world turned upside down

—am thankful she came into our lives

—remember how tiny and bald she once was

—feel the most pure love I’ve ever known

—see a future wild with possibilities

—want nothing from her in return

—know just how lucky I am

—hope she will always be safe

—am proud to be her father

—just cherish the glance

—I’m happy

—smile

—melt

—hug

—be
