Daddy's Little Girl
So tiny, and so small
He held her gently for the first time in his strong arms
Carrying her along with his arm, her feeble, frail body, resting comfortably on his outstretched arm, taking her safely to and fro
everyone looking in amazement, thinking won't she fall from traveling on his outstretched arm. But without a doubt, she was as safe as a baby kangaroo in its mother's pouch.
As days and months pass, she grew bigger and riding on his outstretched arm ended. Daddy's shoulders took his angel around while she beamed with joy traveling high above the ground, discovering the world. Mommy had no worries now about their regular trips because the safe shoulders of daddy were there to assist.
Growing through the stages, he watched over her, smiling at every turn, making sure to guide as she learned curiously about the world. She was captivated by all the activities, the sounds, sights, smell, and taste. But he witnessed every move so closely, sharpening his understanding of a new life being shaped through his influence.
Watching daddy play with his angel, brings a mother joy
She knows the bond that is being formed is everlasting and true.
She knows, there is no love like a father's love, and the valuable lesson she will learn spending time with her dad. She knows that a father's love is deeper than the blue sea, and nothing replaces that love.
Hearing her daughter and her dad's laughter warms her heart, sending her a sublime message that blessings comes from the love of a father and daughter bond.
