A Daughter's Life

A father's reflection on his daughters life at the time of her wedding - and beyond.

My Daughter Jenna

Jenna Marissa Hoyt is a newborn,
         Bringing love into my heart
                   New life with boundless potential

Jenna is an adolescent,
         Testing love -- growing continually
                   Learning life’s lessons

Jenna is a teenager,
         Teaching me parental love’s infinite variations
                   Becoming aware of life’s uncountable pathways

Jenna is an adult,
         Peeling the onion of love’s intricate architecture
                   Molding the clay of reality to form her unique future

Jenna is a wife,
         Coalescing her quintessence with her true love
                   Joining of “souls” is not just addition of 1+1=2, but a factor of 1x1=1

Jenna is a mother,
         Bringing new love into her heart
                   New life with boundless potential

Jenna is a daughter,
         Connecting indivisibly to my heart
                   I love my inspirational muse more than I thought possible
