The Paper Heart

I pull into the driveway

She meets me with a grin

Those little arms swung around my neck

The minute I walked in

Daddy I wrote my ABC's

Daddy I drew a tree

Daddy I learned about myself

Here's what she showed to me

Here's my chin, it goes with my grin

Here's my nose, my belly button and my toes

These are my fingers, teacher says my eyes are blue

Here's a heart I colored dad,I made it just for you

Rusty wore out scrap book had so much more to say

Kindergarten through high school and graduation day

Then I came upon that paper heart from so many years before

And I placed it where it once had hung,the refrigerator door

Now there she is next to a boy who stands six at feet tall

And I heard that little voice again echo up and down the hall

Here's my chin, it goes with my grin

Here's my nose, my belly button and my toes

Here's my fingers, teacher says my eyes are blue

Here's a heart I colored dad, I made it just for you

Here's a heart I colored dad, I made it just for you

How I love that paper heart it touches my heart so
