How could I Not?
I laugh to myself,
about her question asked
"Daddy, do you love me?"
My response to her, with my eyes I cast
"How could I not?"
Her sweet kisses shower me like rain
In my days of grey, they ease my pain
The hugs are really great too.. I'm just sayin'
My little one I adore, and don't mind relayin'
"How could I not?"
The times she misbehaves are truly few
But hey that's my girl, so what do I do?
Firm sound in my voice sometimes I resort to
Then comes her look...Oh god, now I'm through!
"How could I not?"
I'm such a worry wart, is she okay? thoughts creepin'
Can't count the times I checked on her while she's sleepin'
Jokin' out loud.. to that 'make believe' crowd
"Who wants this kid for a buck?"
"DADDY!" she says out loud.
"You said you loved me..."
I say come here, and hold her tenderly
Repeating many times how much she means to me
"How could I not love you, my little stinker?"
"You're the best I got...
So you never need be concerned
Love you I do, and... how could I not?"

Oh, how sweet this is, and me, being
a parent of a 15, going on 16 year
old girl, I can relate so well to
this..these feelings, memories we
make with our children never change,
and this makes life seem much more
brighter and rewarding to have that
soul, the one soul that is apart of us
love us back so tenderly and unconditionally:)
Great job!
