those little fingers and dainty toes
bright round eyes and garlic-like nose
flashing me smiles pacing on twos
saying "see how much I love you"
brush of your eyebrows bends like the moon
the turn of the ear at the touch of the spoon
every mouthful of broth and heart wrenching cough
saying "see how much I love you"
sleep is sweet play is bliss
such is your day that flies like a kiss
i cherish these moments watching you grow
saying "see how much I love you" so
hope you'll be strong hope you'll reach high
to live a legacy never gone by
such is the whisper of my heart that cries
"see how much I love you"
