My Little Girl - But That's Just Me

When I see the sun shine it reminds me of you! Of all the things we used to do. You’d wiggle and giggle and put on a smile. You’d run and play then rest for a while. I’d see you sleeping; you were so full of peace. You were mine and I love you, No longer a niece. My little girl… You’d run and you’d climb and then play pretend, All through the day, seemed it never would end… Each day was a joy and each night was too! Seemed you never ran out of things to do. A cat a bunny a bird or a fish, You’d watch for a time and I’d make a wish! I’d wish for the joy the love and good time, To go on forever but you’d grow like a vine… My little girl… I know things change as time passes by… I’m getting older and try not to cry… But that’s just me… My eyes fade a little more each day, My body aches in many a way… My hair not its color is fading to gray. Is that okay? But that’s just me… When the time comes for me to depart, I’d want the world to know, I lived, I loved, I laughed, I cried, I gave my life for my little girl, And then I died… But… that’s… just… me…
