He told me
He's thankful
For bearing no resentment,
For forming an unexpected bond with a woman
And calling her his daughter
In such a brief time.

It was fleeting,
But I understand now—
You are the soul
I was destined to encounter.

The moment we met,
You were protective, nurturing,
Far surpassing the man
I had been accompanying.
But fate had other plans,
He was merely a conduit to find my guardian,
My protective godfather,
Someone with whom I could share daily greetings,
Meet on the track in the days to come,
A presence for sharing and guiding,
On a journey I once walked lonely and alone.

You're my American Sweet,
That's my nickname for him,
Not for a fleeting sugar high,
But for his expansive, generous heart,
Overwhelmingly sweet,
Irresistibly so,
And it's no surprise,
For a chocolatier he is.

My gratitude knows no bounds,
For the serendipitous twists that brought you into my life,
For the way you fill days with warmth,
For nurturing a father-daughter bond so pure and strong,
Together, forever entwined in this unexpected but cherished bond.
