Love’s Spectrum

The Sun rises early,

but my day starts with you.

Wake up little baby,

we’re going to the zoo!

Pounce with the tiger,

Munch with the giraffe,

Listen to the lion’s roar and laugh, laugh, laugh.

Something troubles you,

I know you cannot tell me.

But daddy’s here for you,

Ignore the people staring.

The crowds are shocked,

When my boy is crying.

Some might approach and say,

“Stop that boy’s whining!”

Don’t worry, my son,

They just don’t understand.

That’s why daddy works real hard,

To spread the word to every hand.

It’s time to go home, now.

It’s not your fault, it’s mine.

Daddy loves you with all his heart,

That’s why he’s upset when you cry.

Settle down now, love.

Listen to what I say.

Daddy will never leave you,

By your side, always.

I watch you smile, play and laugh,

The happiest boy on planet earth.

Daddy wishes others could see,

And understand your worth.

That you’re smart, strong and silly.

The funniest boy I’ve ever met.

Loving, kind and sweet.

They didn’t know that, I bet.

It’s time for bed now, baby.

My love for you unmet.

I was nothing before you arrived,

And I’d be nothing if you left.
