Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray my daddy my heart to keep.
Your child-like wonder,
So happy care-free
All started to make me see
It’s not the money made,
the fancy things attained
But the love within,
and relationships remained.
You daddy have taught me to simply live life
To look past what’s wrong and forget the strife.
Never are you afraid to cry
You’ll tell me “I love you baby “
until the day you die
No words, no rhymes, no poem will show,
The love and respect
you have caused to grow.
Daddy you have gone beyond your role
Without you there would be no me,
No mind, no body, no soul.
Your older now and not so well
they say it's returning cancer
supposedly only time will tell.
But now my child-like wonder
so happy and carefree
will soon start to make you see
radiation and chemo may wear you down
but I'm here to help with anything but a frown.
Rest if you must but Im here for you just as you were for me
I'll love you forever and your baby I will always be.
now that I lay you down to sleep
I pray my daddy my heart to keep.
