Daddy's Sweetheart

"Daddy has a sweetheart And Mother is her name." Daddy's best loved record And I feel much the same. As my daddy rocks me He plays this little game. He says, "Listen for it. Just listen for your name." "Daddy has a sweetheart" And then these words I hear. "And Joybelle is her name." The words are loud and clear. Only when he says so Is my name sung this way. My daddy's love will stay with me, The rest of this long day. By: Joyce Johnson For"You're a Little Kid Again" Contest I was very young when daddy would hold me, rock me and sometime I would fall asleep listening to the record magically say my name instead of my mother's. Under three I believe. I felt very loved as that child.
