Through your eyes,
  I see the
  Novelty 
  Of new
  Experience
  
  Through your ears,
  I hear the 
  Sound
  Of my
  Past --
  
  Distant whispers
  Hearkening to a 
  Time when
  The world
  Was uncharted
  Territory.
  
  Your face is
  Alive
  With curiosity
  
  As your fingers
  Grasp your 
  Surroundings
  
  And hold on
  For dear life.
  
  I feel your
  Joy as the
  World opens
  As a flower
  Before your
  Sparkling eyes.
  
  I feel your
  Fear as it
  Flashes across
  Your face
  When I shut
  Off the light
  Whispering
  "Good Night."
  
  You lay alone
  In the Darkness
  
  Every creak 
  A slithering beast
  
  Every shadow
  Threatening to
  Swallow you
  Whole.
  
  Fear not,
  Little one
  
  The dawn 
  Will chase
  The demons
  Away.
  
  Another night
  Added to your
  Emotional
  Piggy-bank
  
  As a new
  Day begins.
  
  A smile
  Spreads across
  Your lips
  
  As you exclaim
  "Good mor'ning, dadee"
  
  As I rub the
  Last remnants
  Of sleep
  From my eyes,
  
  You jump on
  My legs
  Excitedly
  
  Imagining the
  Mattress is
  A trampoline
  
  And I am 
  A slumbering
  Giant
  
  As I reluctantly
  Rise from the
  Warm confines
  Of my bed
  
  You are running 
  Rampant through
  The room
  
  Grabbing everything
  In sight
  
  Sometimes the
  Devil lurks
  Where Angels
  Usually tread
