Mommy's Girl

Mommy Do You Love Me?

© Arnot McCallum

Mommy, do you love me?
Of course I do dear!
Let’s snuggle a minute,
Come sit,
Over here.

I prayed every bedtime,
For a little girl like you,
And when I saw your funny face,
No one else would do!

Your face was all wrinkled,
Your skin was all red.
You were bald as a beach ball,
Not a hair on your head.

You cried and you yelled
You burped and you spit,
You threw the odd tantrum,
You took the odd fit.

But you’re growing up quickly
And soon you’ll take flight,
And I’ll be alone
With my memories each night.

SO, you ask, DO I LOVE YOU?
My answer is simple,
I love every freckle,
I love every dimple.
I love every giggle
I love every smile,
You’re my reason for living,
You make life worthwhile.
Together we’ll travel life’s road to the end.
Sweetheart, you’re my daughter!
My Very Best Friend!
