Daddy's Girl
I gaze upon perfection laid before me
The innocent face of my sleeping child
Auburn hair draped upon her pillow
Lollipops and candy canes
Take possession of her dreams
As she dwells in her world of make believe
I cannot deny that I am her captive
Held in her hand, held in my heart
Her foil to do with as she may
I edge closer to the bed
And pause for fear that I will wake her
With the muffled beating of my heart
She stirs, a sigh slipping from her lips
The tiny legs move with quiet rhythm
As she dreams of dancing with the angels
Sleep well, daddy's girl
