I Promise

I PROMISE 

As I'm sitting alone 

There's a kinda six sense premonition 

That Iddy biddy feeling inside 

Known as parental intuition 

We know the parental drill 

Time to take our position 

Doesn't matter what your doing 

You just stop and purely listen

Sensing something not quite right 

I need to settle my suspicion 

So as I creeped down the hallway  

Pivoting to avoid the squeaky floor

Indeed My intuition was right

As I hear my daughter Sobbing behind the door

The tears of a daughter missing her mum 

Are not like normal tears 

These form from the pit of the soul 

Shifting heart ache up through gears

Tears that send chills 

Down through the bones 

From just a 7 year old girl 

Who just wants a mum of her own 

But she Worried it would up set her dad

She bravely copes alone 

Just like your mother always thinking of others 

 it's scary how much you have grown

My eyes start to blur 

and the tears start to form 

Not even the weatherman can predict 

One of my life's mental storms  

I just comfort her as she breaks down 

I just bear hug her as tight as can be 

I reassure her I'm not going anywhere 

Unfortunately your stuck with me 

 I wipe my blurred vision 

and just man up on the spot

It's time for some daddy advice 

So listen up my little fiffi tot 

Sometimes baby life can be mean 

Sometimes it won't always turn out 

Exactly as u seem

But as I've told you before 

You are a little queen 

You my monkey moo will Succeed in life 

So promise me you follow your dreams 

as she weeps she ask me to promise to never leave her side 

As I wipe her nose and dried her eyes 

She clutched me tight with all of her mite 

It's me and u no matter what we do 

we come as a pair like doves in the air 

So proud of you moo your amazing through and through 

 WILLIAM LIGHT
