My Little Girl

What goes through your mind when you babble at me now?
I wish I could understand but I was never taught quite how.

do your word have different meanings or can you understand,
When I threaten”if you touch that, I swear I’ll slap your hand”?

Do you see me as your father or do you know I’m not your blood?
either way I hope you know my love for you is like a flood.

I know I get angry with you and you might not like me all the time,
But the things that I instill in you will someday make you shine.

I will be there to protect you from everything you fear,
and always be there to wipe away all of your tears.
