“My little Chickadee”

I recognise that pitter patter climbing up my stairs 
Aww I sneak a peek and watch her kneeling down in prayers
She doesn’t see me she is totally in unawares
As I see her reflection in the hallway mirror
My Hunnybun hugs her teddy bears

Only five years old but my how you have grown
Into the most prettiest little girl that I have ever known
I am so priviledged and proud to call you my own
With you by my side well I shall never feel alone

“Night night my Mamma” I hear you call out my name
but I don’t want to let you see me I am behind your door frame
Yet I whisper a gentle “Goodnight my love” and you hear me all the same
“Sweet dreams my little Chickadee” You love your nickname
