Rest your soft blue eyes Sky Princess the world is coming
Dream of your future, so bright, so beautiful, so enriching
As your dreams bring forth such lovely things, Papi will hold you close
Gently cradling you in scarred, tattooed arms that sing love for you
Let's rock back and forth in the silence as your dreams become reality
With your black hair sticking out everywhere, let Papi smooth it down gently
Feel the scruff of my beard as I kiss the top of your head gently,
My little Sky Princess...how high your going to fly to reach your dreams
Will you help those around you? Will you serve the poor or even the rich?
I wonder will you wear a white coat or will you wear a badge on your heart?
A badge that has a simple script on it that exemplifies your love, 'Mommy'
I wonder, I wonder as I cradle you in my arms, breathing in your baby scent
There is no need for this man to dream of those days yet, I want to cherish this
Sky Princess, eventually your going to fly without me but I'll be there to help
Always and forever right with you my Little Sky Princess with eyes of blue
Hair as dark as night with soft skin as tanned as my own, like Papi like Daughter
So sleep for now Little Sky Princess, there is time to fly later...
Right now just let Papi hold you close in a shield of love...
Always remember Papi loves you no matter what...
I love you Little Sky Princess, my Alexa Renne...

a very lucky little girl
well one thing that stands out, and the words apple and eye are in it, i hope she has lots and lots more memories as she and you grow as a bonded unit, a beautiful poem, will have to re read it as it got a little emotional to take it all in.
