Daddy's Little Angel

Written for Kiwiwolf

Dedicated to Jamie, with all my love, your Daddy

Daddy's little angel; with halo firmly in place
Truly you are a source of continuing delight
Often there is mess, noise and a grubby face
That wears a smile full of sunshine and light

Each day you bring me more happiness
Stroking my bearded face, ever so gently
Your cheerful ways and sweet smile bless
Waking me every morning with happy glee

Your small, sticky hand clutching at mine
Innocent eyes peering at me, enquiringly
Your world is happy and mostly sunshine
With you things mean much more to me

You laugh at my jokes or when I am a clown
Joy you bring to me, in so many ways
You make my frowns turns upside down
Even on the longest of sad, tired days

When you fall down and scrape your knee
You turn to me to kiss the booboo away
"All better now, Daddy" you say to me
Before you skip happily back to play

When I look at your little face I know
Small, simple things make you happy
A flower, a cute kitty, a pretty rainbow
Through a child's eyes see simple beauty

Each night, I read a little, kiss you g'night
Sweet dreams, sleepy head, on soft pillow
Snuggle you down and tuck you in tight
Sleeping face bathed in the Moon's soft glow

Unconditional love I have and give to you
No matter what you do or where you go
I will be here, to love and guide you through
Daddy's little angel, I do love you so
