Goodnight Baby Girl (Poem)

A poem I wrote last night as my friend was comforting his baby to sleep, reminded me of when I would do the same for my daughter at that age...

As time passes by

And each night you rest your eyes

I dream of days you'll do the same

If you bring in to this world new life

I wonder what their names will be

A middle mine to honor me

Brightly shining honesty

Purely what I want to be

Each expression on her face

Is true and real cause nothing's faked

Not yet at this early stage

Has she stepped in devious ways

Testing nights she woke up scare

A show of anger wasn't fair

But as my hand stroked her blonde hair

To steal her heart, I wouldn't dare
