Lily
Your eyes shine so bright and blue.
With precious skin soft and sweet,
Your tiny hands grip my hair,
And I can't help but to stare
At your innocents, uncorrupted
By all of the despair.
I scoop you up in my arms,
And rock you back and forth
Until your body drifts off
Into some dreamfilled sleep.
I hold you for a while longer,
Wishing for a brighter future.
I will do whatever it takes
To fill your life with all hope
And no hate. I promise,
I promise to protect you
From the world, so harsh and cruel.
You are my angel, my sweet
Little girl, and I want you to know
That I love you, and I always will.
