In My Daughter's Eyes

In my daughter's eyes

I see you dreaming
Of thoughts so real and new
Glimpses of love
Lost in a greyish-blue

I see you studying
The outline of my face
Our eyes meet
My heartbeat quickens pace

In my daughter's eyes
I see answered prayers and teddy bears
Pink sun dresses with SpaghettiO messes
I see tea time for two and trips to the zoo
Long-braided hair and dolls dressed with care
I see pony tails and bedtime fairy tales
With butterfly kisses and naptime wishes

In my daughter's eyes

I see you exploring
The amazement of light
Colors so vibrant
Keeping eyes open such a fight

I see you wondering
What else is in store
Dependent on two
Loved each day even more

In my daughter's eyes
I see answered prayers and teddy bears
Pink sun dresses with SpaghettiO messes
I see tea time for two and trips to the zoo
Long-braided hair and dolls dressed with care
I see pony tails and bedtime fairy tales
With butterfly kisses and naptime wishes

In my daughter's eyes
