My Little Girl - But That's Just Me
When I see the sun shine it reminds me of you!
Of all the things we used to do.
You’d wiggle and giggle and put on a smile.
You’d run and play then rest for a while.
I’d see you sleeping; you were so full of peace.
You were mine and I love you, No longer a niece.
My little girl…
You’d run and you’d climb and then play pretend,
All through the day, seemed it never would end…
Each day was a joy and each night was too!
Seemed you never ran out of things to do.
A cat a bunny a bird or a fish,
You’d watch for a time and I’d make a wish!
I’d wish for the joy the love and good time,
To go on forever but you’d grow like a vine…
My little girl…
I know things change as time passes by…
I’m getting older and try not to cry…
But that’s just me…
My eyes fade a little more each day,
My body aches in many a way…
My hair not its color is fading to gray.
Is that okay?
But that’s just me…
When the time comes for me to depart,
I’d want the world to know,
I lived, I loved, I laughed, I cried,
I gave my life for my little girl,
And then I died…
But… that’s… just… me…
