That girl just grows so fast!
Slow…no, but oh how I wish
because I love her so.
Never does a father want
to see his little girl go.

The outside world
was cold and gray
on the day you came.
But the light and warmth
in our hearts
from the new soul
placed in our care
was more than enough for
all to share.
I marveled those first months
at everything new.
Took so much pride in the
things you learned to do.
Learning to walk
now that was fun
but soon you had us
on the run.
Your climbing skills
Put me to shame
quickly I knew
It was time to put down the
video games.
Lock everything up
place everything high.
No telling what this girl will get into
when her limit is the sky.

What terrible two’s?
Haha…so young for that kind
of attitude.
But mostly sugar
and turning into quite the looker
with a smile that turned
a bad day fine.
Yep, so happy to call you
mine.
Endless summers running and swinging
at the park.
Spending evenings watching movies
and making shadow puppets in the dark.
Nope, back in those days
I don’t think I was ever “me”
more like a tickle monster or pony.
‘It’s the little things…”
I often hear people say.
Well, I’ve learned that on my own
IN A VERY BIG WAY!!! :)
Hair, hair…
LOTS of hair!!!
On the days I was rushing to
get you somewhere
it just didn’t seem fair.
But somehow we made it through
(with the help of a little duct tape & crazy glue ;)

Well, she’s off to her first day of school.
Her new backpack and cute little shoes.
Another day of new beginnings
it’s becoming clearer that these
will be never ending.
She makes a friend and then another
they’re talking up a storm
Oh brother!!! :)
“Daddy I need a new hat
I need new boots
I think I want to play the
flute.
No…I think I want to
dance and sing.
Please, just sign the form
I WANT TO TRY EVERYTHING!!!
I would like a bike to learn to ride
I can’t forever stay by your side.
Daddy, I would like to walk to school
on my own
but stay right here so that when I look back
I know you are near.”
10….
That girl just grows so fast.
Slow…no, but oh how I wish
Because I love her so.
Never does a father want
to see his little girl go.
Come springtime all flowers blossom
and the leaves on a tree come to be.
When I watch you, my lovely child… sleeping
I think of these.
For what a shame
If the good Lord kept such beauty
away from me.
Slow…no.
But daddies don’t ever have to
really let go.
When you look back
You’ll know that I am near.
Sharing is the key
so, hello world…this is my daughter
the BEAUTIFUL MISS
ATHENA MARIE!!! :)
