My dear Elizabeth
This poem is for you
A poem from daddy
I hope it will do

Dear, sweet Ellie
I don’t know what to say
Except that your smile
Takes the pain away

Lovely little angel
You are simply divine
And no matter what happens
You will always be mine

The sheer joy that I feel
When you’re holding my face
Fills my heart up so much
That there’s no extra space

This life that I’m living
Is finally worth it
The gift that you give me
I do not deserve it

So I’ll watch you grow up
And I’ll love every minute
My life would be empty
Without you in it

And as you grow older
I hope that you know
You’re daddy’s little girl
And I love you so
