My beautiful baby girl

My beautiful baby girl

I love to feel your soft ribbons of hair flit between my fingers

Your eyes the color of honey remind me of a hot autumn day

Your milky smooth skin so warm against mine

Cherry blossom lips so soft to kiss

I become drowsy in their dance as I listen to your lyrical voice

I long to feel your curves next to my body

 

Beautiful baby girl

Who will be there when the party ends

Who will catch you when you fall

Who will lend you a shoulder to cry on

Whose arms will hold you

Who will be there to help pick up your mess

Who will yell at the clouds with you

 

My beautiful baby girl

Everyday I look into your eyes and try to blot you out

What will happen to me when you fade away

They all want to play with the beautiful baby girl

They all want to hear her laugh

They all want to touch her, to love her

But what of the dragon queen who lies beneath
