daddy's little girl.

even when i grow up,
spread my wings and fly,
i'll still be small in your eyes.
always be the baby girl,
in a pretty pink dress,
and my baby shoes.
swinging on park swings,
swimming from one end of the pool
to the other,
sliding down the fireman poles,
knowing that you're always at the other end
to catch me if i fall.

i know i'll be on my own soon,
flying away by myself.
but i'll never stop being,

your little girl.
