(this is actually dedicated to both my babies, who despite the implicated weight, somehow save me...)

Diamonds flutter in the air,
while she dreams, her golden hair
swirls around the pillow fold,
cushioning her sleep,
I behold
all that she wants, all she needs,
God, let me give her these things?
Even if I fail once in a
while, I know You won't let me regret.....

Sky runs out of darkest blue
she's still dreaming, I am too,
I swirl around the pillow slowly
I wake up as she asks to
have her oatmeal, before bathing
I say, "OK" then while waiting
for the water & oats to
boil, I look up and give thanks for
my day....

Coming out of the bedroom I shared
with her, my little girl
looked at me with widened eyes
to say with wee-voice, "when will I
or you and me, I mean we, when will we
have all the things
I dream about
when I sleep?" I say, "Soon, baby"
then she hugs me so sweetly...

That was not so long ago,
we live differently now, it shows,
with what my hard work affords,
high-rise, still, I drive a Ford,
but no matter how much money
or success I have coming,
nothing will value
as much as
all the love I hold for she and we.....

God, thank You, for my little family...
