baby girl
what did daddy say
no walking around naked
after your bath

no sweetie
you can’t sit
in daddy’s lap
you’re still soapy
and wet

get a towel
daddy will dry you off
brush your hair
rub you down
with lotion

i'll dress you
in your nightgown
put your arms
in the air
there you go
my little angel

into daddy's arms
you go
i'll carry you
to bed
tuck you in
read a story
kiss you
once asleep

baby girl
center of my world
i love you
as only a daddy can
