Our pride of a marriage sleeps
Quietly in the arms of night
On her bed of security
Embracing the enchantments of dream

A face of calm
In a peace filled room
Dimly lit by a watchful light
The bed sheets tossed and twisted

I straighten her bed
I draw the blind while saying
Goodnight darling
Daddy loves you lots
Lots and lots

No reply
But I feel she will sleep sounder with my love
With the same words that fill her room each night
I love you darling
I love you

This reminds me so much of a song about scarlet ribbons...

a lovely tribute to a special little one...

Very good.  I'm guessing this was a very difficult write, difficult to put in words just how a father feels about his daughter.  Very good.

Embrace these moments forever. They go so quickly. You are creating memories even still, while she sleeps. Very touching piece.
Thank you for your good wishes. I feel great today!
Sincerely
Regina
