As she runs out of the lake after an afternoon of swimming in the waves
He wraps her in a towel to protect her from a chill coming off from the water
He wishes he could protect her from the world so easily
But for now, he will start with an over-sized beach towel around her tiny body
Covering her bathing suit from any future boys that may look in her direction
Even though she’s only 5
He doesn’t want his little girl to grow up so fast
But as she runs off snuggled in the towel he wrapped around her like a shield
She’s now pretending it’s a super hero cape as she joins her friends
And he smiles because she will always be the hero of his heart
His beautiful baby girl

You write that so eloquently! If only they could stay small wrapped in a beach towel!

Thanks for your comment 🙂 (and the follow!) I love watching snapshots of life all around, it really is too bad sometimes that we can only preserve those moments in our memories to last the lifetime 🙂 I know there truly are some I’d like to hit the pause button on to enjoy a little bit longer myself!
