She reminds me of you

She reminds me of you

Our little girl woke me this morning
She woke me from a dream of you
Still wrapped in the mist of dreams
I looked at her and called your name
As the curtain of sleep rolled back
My heart slowed as my eyes cleared
I saw her standing near the bed
Her golden hair gleaming in the morning light
In her eyes yours shined so bright
In her smile like yours all else vanishes
I held her closely and squeezed tight
As tears filled my eyes she squeezed back
She didn’t know why I held her so close
Her love is given so freely so unconditionally
In every way she reminds me of you
