Fire Paws

After working long hours, I can come home to rest. 
As soon as I place my key into the door, I can hear a series of steps. 
It is the steps of my little daughter. 
She is my baby. 
My first born from a person that gave her up for a better life. 
I am her dad and I love her. 
My only wish is that she can know my future child or that she is reincarnated as my human daughter.
Her little paws warm my hands
I may never know the warmth of the hand of a human child 
As I am cursed to be alone forever and with no family
Let her paws be the fire I need!
