Daughter

Flash of light
Small hands and smile bright
Those cocoa eyes
Gazing back at me
Little pink dress
Curtsey and impress
That you are mine on me
I haven't met you yet
Beautiful baby girl
But I saw your face
This morning as I dozed in my bed

I am single
There's no one in the picture right now
Yet you haunt me, my little one
I want you to have a good Daddy
Just like I do
Someone who will show you
How men are meant to be
And to keep you safe and happy
I want you to learn from us
Loving someone is worth the rain
I never want you to worry
About being unloved or alone

So I say a prayer
For your Daddy to come soon
Because I am excited to meet
Both of you
To love you with my whole heart
Baby girl, you've been wanted
From the start
This journey to you
Has been hard
But you are worth it to me
I love you.
Your momma will always love you.
