~ Butterfly Kisses ~

There's two things I know for sure.
She was sent here from heaven,
and she's Daddy's little girl.
As I drop to my knees by her bed at night,
she talks to Jesus, and I close my eyes.
And I thank God for all of the joy in my life,
but most of all, for...
Butterfly Kisses after bedtime prayer,
Stickin' little white flowers all up in her hair.
"Walk beside the pony Daddy, it's my first ride."
"I know the cake looks funny Daddy,
but I sure tried."
Oh, with all that I've done wrong,
I must have done something right
to deserve a hug every morning
and Butterfly Kisses at night.
Sweet Sixteen today,
she's looking like her momma
a little more every day.
One part woman, the other part girl,
To perfume and makeup,
from ribbons and curls,
Trying her wings out in a great big world,
But I remember....
Butterfly Kisses after bedtime prayer.
Stickin' little white flowers all up in her hair.
"You know how much I love you Daddy,
but if you don't mind, I'm only going
to kiss you on the cheek this time."
With all that I've done wrong,
I must have done something right
to deserve her love every morning
and Butterfly Kisses at night.
All the precious time
like the wind, the years go by.
Precious butterfly
spread your wings and fly.
She'll change her name today.
She'll make a promise, and I'll give her away.
Standing in the bride room just staring at her,
she asked me what I'm thinking,
and I said, "I'm not sure.
I just feel like I'm losing my baby girl."
Then she leaned over and gave me....
Butterfly Kisses, with her momma there
sticking little white flowers all up in her hair.
"Walk me down the aisle Daddy,
it's just about time."
"Does my wedding gown look pretty Daddy?"
"Daddy, don't cry."
With all that I've done wrong,
I must have done something right
to deserve her love every morning,
and Butterfly Kisses....
I couldn't ask God for more,
man, this is what love is.
I know I've gotta let her go,
but I'll always remember...
every hug in the morning
and Butterfly Kisses...

My child's feelings are hurt. I tell her she's special. My
child is injured. I do whatever it takes to make her feel better.
My child is afraid. I won't go to sleep until she is secure...
Moments of comfort from a parent. As a father, I can tell
you they are the sweetest moments in my day.
They come naturally. They come willingly. The come joyfully.

The Applause of Heaven

One of the greatest gifts we can give to our daughters is a
mirror where they can find love colorfully and truthfully reflected.
