My Little Girl

At first amazed consumed with pride,I have a little girl

Could It be just my joy that speaks
or can I be the luckiest man in the world

Each day I watched you come to life
ears piqued by every sound

I would sit for hours with bursting smile
just to watch you crawl around

As the years ensued and you grew before me
my great joy was tinged with worry

Such happiness of which dreams are made
should not pass in such a hurry

Through the years our times were so precious
each little event etched in my mind

Each mornings smile you shown upon me
a sweet and treasured find

And now my little girl stands before me
a woman tall and proud

Yet still if you stood away a million miles
i could touch you in a crowd

The reason I can say this
is because even when where apart

Those sweet memories that we share
we carry deep within our hearts
