An Angel's Request
Listening to my child at play
Through laughter with her dad
My little girl made one request
It kind of made me sad
Whispered in a tiny voice
She asked him on this night
Daddy can you promise
To love me for all my life
Her words did not shutter
She waited for him to say
Yes my baby I’ll always love you
Forever and a Day
In my sadness I did find
The innocence of my child
She only wants to be loved
And see a caring smile
As he took her hand
For one last dance just before bed
I saw her eyes light up
And then she bowed her head
She wanted one more time to hear
That he would always stay
She needed one more reminder
Before they end the day
As he tucked her in to sleep
He whispered in her ear
I will always love you
I promise you this dear
