from a Dad to his Daughter
TO MY CHILD
Just like every morning, I am going to smile
Just like every morning, I am going to smile
when I see your face and laugh when I feel like crying.
Just like every morning, I will let you choose what you want to wear,
Just like every morning, I will let you choose what you want to wear,
and smile and say how perfect it is.
Just like every morning, I am going to step over the laundry
and pick you up and take you to the park to play.
Just like every morning, I will leave the dishes in the sink,
and let you teach me how to put that puzzle of yours together.
Just like every morning, I will unplug the telephone
and keep the computer off, and sit with you in the backyard and blow bubbles.
Just like every afternoon, I will not yell once, not even a tiny grumble when you scream
Just like every afternoon, I will not yell once, not even a tiny grumble when you scream
and whine for the ice cream truck, and I will buy you one if he comes by.
Just like every afternoon, I won't worry about what you are going to be when you grow up,
or second guess every decision I have made where you are concerned.
Just like every afternoon, I will let you help me bake cookies,
Just like every afternoon, I will let you help me bake cookies,
and I won't stand over you trying to fix them.
Just like every afternoon, I will take us to Haldiram's
and buy us both a Happy Meal so you can have both toys.
Just like every evening, I will hold you in my arms
and tell you a story about how you were born and how much I love you.
Just like every evening, I will let you
Just like every evening, I will let you stay up late while we sit on the porch and count all the stars.
Just like every evening , I will snuggle beside you for hours,
and miss my favourite TV shows.
Just like every evening when I run my finger through your hair as you pray,
Just like every evening when I run my finger through your hair as you pray,
I will simply be grateful that God has given me the greatest gift ever given.......
