Eyes shining
Love and adoration pouring
From her rapt expression
As she gazes at him
Standing or sitting he towers over her
This man, her father.
She goes to him for approval or vindication
The first man in her life she'll ever love
They are each other's gift from above.
Daddy! Daddy!
Look! Look! Can you see?
Daddy! Daddy!
See me! See me daddy looking pretty.
She is only four
Yet hands on her waist
She looks as if she knows the score...
To look him straight in the face and say...
Daddy, I love you.
