To my little girl ,

I was thinking of you and I closed my eyes just to feel the touch of your body in my arms for the first time . You were so tiny that I hardly felt you . You were the most beautiful baby I ever saw in my life . I always wanted a daughter to be my eldest and my prayers were answered . I was the most happiest man on earth that day and from the very first day of your life on this world I kept dreaming of your future . It was not easy taking care of you and I baby sat  you when mummy is busy cooking and I loved those moments . I use to take you out doors and show you little birds and squirrels that played in our garden and the leaves that dance in the wind . The breeze always danced with soft silky hair of yours and flocked to your eyes and the little laughs you gave whenever I took you out doors . You were growing up to a beautiful girl and day by day your baby talk became bold in your own way . You , my angel  became my whole world . I loved spending time with you .


I loved telling you stories and I loved playing with you . Every spare time I found I wanted to be with you . I've heard that fathers love daughter's and how true that is . My love to you have no words to explain , it was like a magnetic bond which is in heart . Every time you wanted to be in my arms and you wanted me to put you to bed at night . That was a time that we both enjoyed . I read you a story every night and waited till you slept . I kept looking at my beautiful angel and what a  wonderful woman you'd be one day.  Days turned into months and years and finally it was time for you to go to school. It was the first time you parted from me and your mum and I felt you were frighten , but you were brave enough not to show .
