This Little Babe of Mine

My Little Girl

Gotta hold on easy as I let you go

Gonna tell you how much I love you

Though you think you already know

I remember I thought you looked like an angel wrapped in pink, so soft and warm

You’ve had me wrapped around your finer since the day you were born

Chorus:

You’re beautiful, baby, from the outside in

Chase you dreams but always know the road that’ll lead you home again

Go on, take on this whole world

But, to me, you know you’ll always be my little girl

When you were in trouble, that crooked little smile could melt my heart of stone

Now look at you, I’ve turned around, and you’ve almost grown

Sometimes you’re asleep I whisper “I love you!” in the moonlight at your door

As I walk away, I hear you say, “Daddy, love you more!”

Chorus

Someday, some boy will come and ask my for your hand

But I won’t say yes to him until I know he’s the half that makes you whole

He has a poet’s soul, and the heart of a man’s man

I know he’ll say that he’s in love

But between you and me, he won’t be good enough!

Chorus

I'm feeling a little a lot emotional today. I've got some anxiety bubbling up. I'm listening to Pandora at work and the above song by Tim McGraw came on. I know it's written from a father's perspective, but it's got me all choked up and teary eyed. Give it a listen if you want, the link is available. 

This is my little girl:

I have such a love for her already. I am excited to meet her, but scared out of my mind to be a parent. I'm 32 weeks pregnant. Time is growing short. Am I ready? 

August seems so far away, yet when I say that I have 8 weeks to go, it sounds like it's next week. 

Just like Bilbo Baggins says in The Hobbit, An Unexpected Journey, "I'm going on an adventure!" And what an adventure this will be!
