Watching our little princess

     as she sleeps at night...

dressed in paisley, rosebuds

and a gown of white.

I envision how quickly

   she'll grow to be a teen...

trading in dresses

for worn out blue jeans.

And overnight it will seem

    into a woman she grew...

and begin searching for her

own dreams to pursue.

Then one day she'll

have children of her own,

and like me, she'll wonder

how the time has flown.

Although these moments

go by too fast...

we have our memories

that forever will last.

Even if she's too big to

   hold or sit on my knee...

still in my heart

my little princess she'll be.
