I had his heart for several years, then it happened overnight.
I saw that glimmer in his eyes when he saw her at first sight.
He didn't think I noticed, for it happened suddenly.
It started taking root inside his heart and filled it quite quickly.
It started with her smile, then a loving firm embrace.
There was no turning back, she had found her place.
She sees him in the hall and rushes to his arms.
Like a long lost friend she hasn't seen with many years apart.
I watch them from the side as they exchange their tender touch.
He kisses her, and his beard gives her nose quite a scrunch.
He calls her by her special names but the name that means the most,
is when she utters Daddy, if only he could boast.
