“daddy, why do you love me.”

i love
how you make me feel
bring out
the daddy in me
to provide
protect
give you everything

you’re so small
vulnerable
helpless
you are
his little
his baby girl
his kitten

daddy’s heart
softens
warms
when you hug
dote
seek his love
and attention

sit in his lap
wrap your arms
around his neck
you are daddy’s
little girl

***********

“husband, why do you love me.”

i love you as
a friend
a partner,
but most of all
as a soul mate
you’ve made me better
given me
a sense of purpose
grounded me
held my hand
opened my heart
allowed me
to express
share my
innermost feelings
shed tears
and not judged me

***********

“that, my wife & little is why i love you so”
