With love to the man of the house x

Posted on September 5, 2010September 5, 2010 by BritMumInNZ

A little girl needs Daddy
For many, many things:
Like holding her high off the ground
Where the sunlight sings!
Like being the deep music
That tells her all is right
When she awakens frantic with
The terrors of the night.

Like being the great mountain
That rises in her heart
And shows her how she might get home
When all else falls apart.

fathersday2010a

Like giving her the love
That is her sea and air,
So diving deep or soaring high
She’ll always find him there.
