“Come give me some lovin’
and make the popcorn now,
Then sit here by your Pa,
Recount our day aloud.
We rode the bikes
you pet the cat,
then, walked the dogs awhile;
Then, built a treehouse
of redwood boards
gathered from the scrap wood pile.”
They had a day, her Pa and her,
while mom was off at school–
“we’ll make a date for next week, too.
Is that a deal, you squirt?”
She loves her Pa more than he knows
’cause injured men don’t feel;
But somewhere deep inside he knows
She’s daddy’s little girl.
