Dreams of far off places
Wishes for adventures in exotic lands
Hoping for best friends
Praying that her daddies trip will soon end
Blowing upon a weed full of hope
She exhales upon her dandelion dreams
Spreading her dreams, hopes, wishes and prayers upon the wind
She watches them glide away into the sky
Watching then fly into the clouds with a tear in her eyes.

Awaiting the day of arrival
Looking into your eyes for the first time
Heart wrapped around your finger
Crawling along the floor
Pulling up to walk some more
First day of school, following the bus to ensure you’re not scared
School plays, recitals and field trips
Watching you scrape your knees when you fall on the ground
Holding you close as tears abound
Family trips, holidays and so much more
Into a young lady you grow so quick
Days go by, weeks than years
Graduation day is soon here
Watching you strike out on your own
Soon a young man catches your eye
Down the aisle I lead you, with a tear in my eye
So proud I am to watch you grow from the baby girl I held so close
To the fine you woman you have become
Always remember that, “In the Jungle, the mighty Jungle the Lion Sleeps Tonight”
Love Dad
