Time with My Daughter

Tickle, tickle little toes,
How I love to tickle you so.
Make her giggle, make her laugh,
Pull her feet away real fast.

Peekaboo, peekaboo can you see me,
I can't find you, where could you be?
Boo, THERE YOU ARE, I FOUND YOU,
I playfully say to you.

Lullabies, lullabies just for you,
Sing them, hum them, whisper them too.
Tuck you in, kiss your cheek, say "I love you",
 as you sleep.

Babbles, babbles in mommy's ear,
Waking me with that sweet little sound.
Making the day start off the best it can be,
You truly are the best thing to happen to me.
