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
Kindegarden 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 refridgerator 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
