In Your Eyes

This is for my daughter, whose
eyes are the windows to my soul…

IN YOUR EYES

In your eyes I see beauty like I have never seen before.
I see brilliant sunsets, the kind you can't ignore.

I see a future so alive and so bright,
It's all there, just waiting to take flight.

I see an innocence so pure and so true,
It's what makes you so special,
It's what makes you… you.

I see you growing up way too fast,
I wish you could stay two forever,
I wish these days could last.

I see the teenage years, when you start to date,
I see my hair falling out 'cause you're getting home late.

I see you going off to school, and off to learn,
I see you needing my help, you know where to turn.

I see you meeting someone who will make your heart skip a beat,
And the same happens to him. Ain't it neat?

I see a mature young woman, at your feet lies the world,
But never forget, you'll always be My Baby Girl.

I love you Monkey Girl.

—Daddy
