Daughters

Wisdom smiled as the answer

drifted on the mist.

"It matters not how they arrive,

The results are the same.

A spirit’s touch so recognizable,

 So familiar, you think it your own.

Comfort comes in knowing that,

If properly nurtured,

The bond is unbreakable.

Neither time nor distance

Has a measurable effect.

Understanding without explanation,

Loving without conditions,

Sacrificing without expectation,

Encompass the heart.

The primal longing for eternity,

For days without end,

Never to be forgotten,

To have mattered to someone.

Daughters."

Satisfied, she turned away.
