I Watch You as You Grow

Villanelle for My Baby Girills

Tripp Stanford

I watch you as you grow,
Time turns angst to clay,
I love you head to toe.

Playing in the frosty snow,
The clouds turn silver grey,
I watch you as you grow.

Going to your first show,

I love you head to toe.

You set my heart aglow,
Sunday is our pancake day,
I watch you as you grow,
I love you head to toe.
