Your first day

Pss... Pss... Wake up baby girl it's daddy. 
You stirred, opened your little eyes, smiled and yelled "DADDY!" 

You asked me if I knew what today was? 
I said no, you giggled and said "I have my first day of 
school duh..." 

I was so sad inside, but couldn't let you know. 
Deep down I knew I had to let you go. 

I asked if you were nervous and afraid? 
You said "no daddy remember I'm brave." 

It hit me like a drop kick to the chest. 
It hit me so hard because I was losing the best. 

Come on baby girl let's go get dressed. 
You ran to the closet and grabbed what you called the best prettiest dress. 

Baby you're so cute this world couldn't handle a twin. 
You smiled, struck a pose and asked me if "you were the prettiest you've ever been?" 

Yes love, you truly are daddy's little princess. 
You hugged me then told me "I was the best." 

Come on baby girl it's time to hit the road. 
You grabbed your back pack and said "okay daddy let's go."
