To watch her tumble into bed
After she's had her story read;
To have her climb onto my lap,
And snuggle close to take her nap;
To know that in her eyes I stand
As tall and strong as any man;
To teach her how to do what's right,
To hear her ask how stars give light;
To know she'll bring me all her fears,
Because she knows I'll dry her tears;
To watch her sleep with rumpled hair,
To see her scold her Teddy Bear;
To see her dressed in Mommy's clothes,
To watch her smell her first spring rose;
To feel her gentle, loving touch
As she holds the hand she trusts so much;
To share the things that make her sad,
To hear her say "I Love You Dad";
To scold and then see her pout,
To help her learn what life's about;
My lovely princess, as only she can,
Makes me glad I'm a Father and a Man.
