Fathers and daughters have a romance That goes on for the rest of their lives, Destined to ripen and age as they dance Through the days of their husbands and wives. Up near the surface their love is distinct, Like a garden surveyed in the sun, In which seedtime and full bloom are credibly linked By a consciousness shared and hard won. Deep down below, where the world is a dream, And the dream is a world of its own, All manner of memories the moments redeem In a place where one's never alone.
