Giving it all up...

He gave up his foot rubs to his sweet baby girl,
The one that was born with pretty dark curls.
She wrapped him around so tight and so snug,
to her soft little heart and the 'Big Girl Hug.'

He gave up the 'Old Days' to enjoy his baby girl.
Daddy's always here in this child's world,
To protect her from noises and kill the spiders,
all the while trying to patiently guide her...

Up to the heavens is where he sends his thanks,
For this precious little one that can "keep him straight."
His vows to this girl are ones that can't be broken,
having sacrificed more than will ever be spoken...

He gave in to the Lord for the blessing He sent,
She made his life full and his big heart content.
The one little person that can bring an instant smile,
Giving it all up at 50, but it was worth his while...


For my Beautiful Baby Daughter
