Father and daughter

My beautiful baby girl
You have finally arrived
The moment you took your first breath 
Is difficult to describe 
I used to talk to you in the womb
And kiss your mummy's belly
I would feel your kicks against my lips 
You would turn my legs to jelly
I said that I would care for you 
And protect you from the cold 
I said I would be there for you 
Until I'm grey and old
You have my heart 
You have my blood
My love is here to take
I will cradle you until you sleep 
And feed you when you wake
I will calm you down when you cry 
And clear your eyes of water
Because there is no greater love 
Than from a father to a daughter
