Dark woods (3)

Asleep the little girl was

Safe in her Daddy’s arms

Though the woods around

Is dark and scary

Sleep the little girl did

Not a care did she have

For she was safe

Safe in her Daddy’s arms

She stirred and awakened

Got up and stretched

Thank you Daddy she whispered

For staying with me always

Into her heart

Her father whispered back

I love you my precious child

The little girl reached up

Her hand once more

This time a hand she didn’t meet

Instead her dear Daddy

Gave her a gift

A map out of the dark woods

Thank you Daddy she beamed

You are the best Daddy ever

Her father reached down

Taking her hand

Together they read the map

Some parts were easy to understand

Others weren’t so

But always her Daddy

Was there to help her

Showing her what the map meant

So together they walked

Hand in hand with each other

Through the dark woods

Map always near

To guide the way through.
