Father and Child Poem

A father writes to his daughter of his love for her and how she's growing up too fast.

My Babygirl

© Donald Watson

It seems like only yesterday
With a teardrop in my eye
That you were born into this world
With a whimper and a cry
The days flew by and turned to weeks
The weeks almost a year
And every time you learn something new
I get that same ol’ tear
I guess its cause you're growing up
But to me it's just too fast
I guess it's just that I'm afraid
You're innocents wont last
But as the years go stumbling by
One thing will remain true
You'll always be my baby girl
No matter what you do.
