It used to be sex, and oddly enough
Sex brought me into my middle life, my daughter
I used to go after orgasms
But now I go for being the right example
As a father
It makes me smile
Knowing that the sex that brought me so much joy
Brought me something even more joyous
My kin
My everything now
It's so weird to connect the two but that's
Just how it is
A simple connection
Of a complex connection
Love and sexual passion brought
Another being into my everyday
Someone that continues and continues
To bring joy in my every way
Just by being the adventurer she is at 3 years old
Every time I say something or ask her questions
I know what I'm doing - kind of
I'm teaching her mass critical thinking
Even more of an ironic deal I've been given
Is that when she experiences new things
It gives her joy
Which seeing her do that is also a new experience
For me.
