Touching - This one is dedicated to my loved one #youmatter

I think it's touching when poets dedicate their poems to others, an unborn child (daughter or son) a lover or a family member. Sarah Kay has dedicated a poem  her future daughter and poet William Royster dedicated one to his unborn son. I wrote a poem about my dad once but I was much younger and today I'm not satisfied with the content, I plan however to rewrite on because like I mentioned before my dad means the world to me and sometimes it's hard to express. But I will make it my duty to let him know how much he means in my poetry... I also dream of a daughter in the future and I will try to write one for her as well, I believe I will make a good mother. Some of my favourite lines from William's poem are: " I promise to love you as if it's the only thing I've ever done correctly." "I will let you know that you have always been a premeditated miracle." 
It's a deep poem, I almost cried, but then again I cry for almost anything.. Sarah Kay's poem was covered in an earlier blog.
