Sing me a lullaby daddy
I know you don’t like to
Afraid you can’t sing well enough
Neither could Bob Dylan
And he was a poet too

Tell me a bedtime tale
Daddy you weave them oh so well
Hansel and Gretel
Where oh silly daddy
Did you come up with names as those?

Pray with me daddy
Teach me how to pray
I’m just a little girl now
But I’ll be big someday
I know you’re afraid the words won’t come

Daddy foreshadows in your eyes
Your sweet princess till kingdom come
Daddy there’s solace that you’re wise
You pat my back while I suck my thumb

Oh, Walt~
This is what good daddies do ....

'Pray with me daddy
Teach me how to pray
I’m just a little girl now
But I’ll be big someday'

What love in your heart you have shared.
*Hugs* to a sweet daddy !

WOW
Walt, this is such a touching poem... no looks like a perfect song for little kids to sing on and on, again and again....

Beautiful...

when you know love will set you free?

Drowning there for all eternity? ~Live

You are multi-faceted, Walt!  This is a keeper, save it for when your child grows up!

Even WAY OUT there...you can still manage to make me smile....
This is so sweet and so cute. I adore it!
I think I'll pass this to my Dad!
Thanks Walt for making me smile tonight!
