“How to Build a Castle”

At the end of the field was a small grassy hill and on the top of that hill was a house.

The sun beamed brilliant from the horizon behind it and it sparkled in the rays.

“Daddy, whose house is that?” she asked him.

“It’s yours, Princess,” her Daddy responded. “And it’s not just a house, it’s a castle.”

“Who built it?” she asked, innocently.

“You did, BabyGirl,” her Daddy responded. “As you looked through life to find your place in this world, your heart found a place it could call home. And it’s that love within you which builds your world now … from the lives you change to the promises you make to the affection you share … to the castles you keep.”

25 “Fields of Gold”

How to take a step forward … in a field of gold.

She wandered aimlessly through that same field of gold her mind always took her to when she lost the battle to insecurity.

It was there in that field that she felt at peace with so many things about herself which seemed out of place in her everyday life.  (And for a BabyGirl, finding peace of mind is a quest she will go on each day as if it were a journey she had never taken before.)

And as everything around her seemed to invite her and who she was, her security was renewed because it was that field of gold which possessed the safety and protection of the world her Daddy created for her and kept her within.

And all she needed to do to live in that field of gold was open her heart to something which was present in each fairy tale she read and held Chivalry as a standard for a life spent living a dream.

Her Daddy was real.  And somewhere, he was waiting for her.  She just hadn’t met him yet.  But knowing he was there was all the peace of mind she needed to take that first step forward.

How to be an Angel …

Gazing up at him with those dazzling baby brown eyes,  she was breath-taking as she lay on the bed they made, in a field of gold as beautiful as the song.

She had been so reserved all her life.  It was wonderful to see her delight in the events that produced her JBF hair.

And as the sensations still rippled through her like the soft breeze through the fortress of reeds around her, she parted her delicate lips to speak.

“Daddy, was I a good girl?” she whispered, clutching the sheet around her at the snap of his camera.

“Yes, BabyGirl,” he said with the endless pride, present in a Daddy’s heart.   You were an angel.”
