Daddy's Little Man

I watched him as he glanced up
To look at Daddy's face
He walked a little faster
To keep up with the pace
I watched him as he reached out
and took his Daddy's hand
Trying to do everything like him
And be Daddy's little man.
I listened to his questions
Asked in baby talk
Daddy answered as best he could
as they continued with their walk
You could tell he started to tire
For it was plain to see
He stopped and held up his little arms,
And said "Daddy Please hold me".
Daddy grinned and picked him up
carried him awhile without a peep
Held his little boy close to him
For Daddy's little man had fallen
fast asleep
