My Baby Girl

My baby girl, When you curl Up in bed And lay your sweet head On your pillow, My face will glow. You fill my life with light And I know your future is bright But I don’t want you to grow Up, but I know That one day you will, But you’ll still Be my little girl. When you curl Up with me I can see One day you’ll get a poem From a boy you’ll bring home. We’ll have a talk man to man, He’ll say he’s your biggest fan But he doesn’t know a fathers love, My cute little dove. I love you But you love the new Man you found. There’s enough love to go around, However. He may love you forever, But if he leaves you behind You will always find That I am here. If you ever shed a tear, I’ll be here to hold you, And I promise I’ll do Whatever I can to make things right. You are the light Of my life Usually so full of strife. Stick with me And you’ll see That so long as my love for you is true. Nothing can harm you I’ll protect you always For the rest of your days.
This poem is about what i would like to be my future. I got the inspiration from a song called cleaning this gun about a father who threatens his daughters bf with a gun to make sure she doesn't get hurt. some people mistake this poem for a poem about love for a wife but it's not. It's actually a poem about a fathers love for his little new-born baby girl. I hope you enjoy it.

he wasnt threatening his daughter he was simply trying to scare his daughters new boyfriend. when it comes to protecting their daughters fathers will do anything. i hope to have a daughter of my own one day. i dont understand ur comment about the duct tape tho.

Guns sure are dangerous and it sure wasn't a very safe thing having one around and threatening his daughter. I'd be wanting to pop a big knot on his lid if he lived around me. You still liked that duct tape one didn't ya? That's what I'd probably use on this sucker..buddy...keep up the hearty emotions...thats where everybodys words come from...the deepest and innermost part of the mindful heart....Lawrence in Lou.
