My baby girl

She will always be my baby girl.

Oh, the arguments of the day
Thankfully long since past
I look at her sleeping peacefully
She’s growing up so fast
I can still hear her baby giggles
It was so easy to make her smile
Now it’s just the opposite
It’s like we are separated by the Nile
I wish she would talk to me
Just a little each day
So I know she is still my baby
Even in just a little way
I whisper to her that I love her
Maybe she’ll hear me in her sleep
And I smile as she says she loves me too
At least I know her love is deep.
My baby girl is still here
Now she is silent and sweet
This is how I always love her
She becomes my baby again in her sleep.
