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.
