Your smile lifted off the clouds
As we approached our home
You run and skip with such delight
Around all you've ever known
Can I stay up late please Daddy
You ask with hope and grace
Just tonight my monkey
A huge grin across my face
So we watch your favourite movie
Your toys across the floor
But the day quickly takes it's toll
And you begin to snore
I see that you are dreaming
Restless kicking at your feet
A troubled dream in strange lands
With the monsters that you meet
So I rest my hand upon you
And whisper in your ear
It's all right my sweet monkey
Don't you worry Daddy's here
Your restless feet stop kicking
And a tear falls from my eye
As you stretch out whilst still sleeping
And you breath a peaceful sigh
Shall I stay up all night long now
Just to make this moment last
For time stops when you're not here
When you are it's gone so fast
But I know you'll wake me early
Daddy please get out of bed
And my heart will feel the sunshine
As your voice spins round my head
This is beautiful, reminding us all to make time for our children. They grow up so fast! We have a huge responsibilty towards them and our actions (or inactions) affect them more than we know.
