Spellbound Poem by Adrian Murphy

Spellbound

Rating: 5.0


Only yesterday you were a child
I held your tiny hand full of a father’s joy,
Those twinkly blues eyes and winning smile
Stealing hearts at every turn
You naked, peeping from behind the stair gate
That little kitchen and the ‘delicious’ food you made
Laughing as you told so many funny stories.

A woman now, my heart full of pride
Spellbound I see the thoughtful, sensitive, Ellyn you’ve become
Each day a glistening future unfurling before you
Still stealing hearts at every turn
Your words bestow wisdom beyond your years
I am blessed with such a friend and daughter
The future will always be bright; the future will always be Ellyn
