Sandra, Eternally

Sweet baby in my arms
All those years ago
Yet like yesterday
I remember
Your warmth, your
boundless love
Bonding with my baby
Golden locks in wild
abandon
Limp and loving
Sleeping in my arms
Cradling you in
nurturing care
Loving you as only
a father can
It brings tears to
my eyes, now
Tears of joy
To see you now
a grown woman,
almost
Yet still that soft
cuddly joy,
my baby
And oh how I
love you still
My beautiful
Sandra
Bonded then and
still so close to
my heart
In softness I
love thee
Eternally
