Looking up to me She takes my hand In her eyes she sees An invincible man Why is it, for me I'm blessed with this gift My precious Josie Whose love doesn't drift As innocent and pure As soft fallen snow To the ends of the earth For her I would go It's important to me The smallest of things Like her butterfly kisses My heart they make sing I'm taken away Three thousand miles I'm sorry sweet Josie But it's just for a while If I had a choice And could be anywhere For your butterfly kisses You know I'd be there With you I love you most, Daddy A bird never flies so high that it can't hit the ground [This message has been edited by Krishankins (07-04-2002 04:20 AM).] |

Ah, Kris...there is a saying around here, if you are going to write tear-jerkers, you must give us a hanky alert... |

This is very sweet. I read it to my daughter. I hope you have sent this to her. She will enjoy it. And I do believe you have attained your goal of trying to fit in as much emotion in a few lines. Good job. |
