As my girl and I sat at the kitchen table,
She started talking as fast as she was able.
Her verbal excitement was at a fever pitch,
She changed each subject without a hitch.
Her breadth of knowledge was astounding,
Her relentless stamina was confounding.
I decided a change of subject was overdue.
I love you, I said; Daddy, I love you too!
Sweetie I love you more than the biggest car,
Daddy I love you more than the biggest star.
I love you more than the best tasting lollypop,
Daddy, I love you more than every raindrop.
I realized she was getting the better of me,
This was astounding since she was only three.
I was determined to win this silly little fight.
Daddy skillfully upped the ante just a mite,
Sweetie I love you more than the universe above,
Daddy, I love you more than ME, isn’t that love?
The depths of love in those little brown eyes,
Caused a humbled old Daddy to start to cry!
While talking to my little angel I’d came to see,
She understood the meaning of love more then me. |
