Tonight
I
sat
down
by
the
window,
With
an
old
photograph
in
my
hand,
Three
little
faces
smiling
back
at
me,
Three
little
hearts
I’
d
give
the
world
to
understand.
I
can
still
hear
your
laughter
in
the
hallway,
I
can
still
see
you
running
through
the
door,
Funny
how
a
house
can
feel
so
empty
When
the
ones
you
love
ain't
there
no
more.
And
I
don't
know
if
you
can
hear
me,
But
there's
something
you
should
know…
Every
road
I
walk
without
you
Feels
like
miles
I
walk
alone.
Oh,
Oluwafikayomi,
Daddy
misses
you,
Oluwafayokemi,
I
miss
you
too.
Oluwafirekunmi,
my
little
light,
I
whisper
your
names
every
lonely
night.
If
love
could
build
a
highway,
I'd
be
knocking
at
your
door,
I'd
hold
you
in
my
arms
And
never
let
you
go
anymore.
You're
three
little
stars
in
my
Tennessee
sky,
Three
pieces
of
my
heart
that
time
can't
take
away.
No
matter
where
this
life
may
take
you,
Daddy
loves
you
every
day.
I
wonder
if
you
think
about
me,
When
the
evening
shadows
start
to
fall.
Do
you
remember
Daddy's
silly
stories?
Do
you
remember
when
I
held
you
all?
I
miss
the
little
things
I
took
for
granted,
The
noise,
the
running,
and
the
tears,
I
never
knew
those
ordinary
moments
Would
become
the
memories
I
treasure
through
the
years.
Sometimes
I
talk
to
your
pictures,
Like
you're
sitting
here
with
me.
And
I
thank
God
for
the
blessing
That
you
three
will
always
be.
Oh,
Oluwafikayomi,
Daddy
misses
you,
Oluwafayokemi,
I
miss
you
too.
Oluwafirekunmi,
my
little
light,
I
whisper
your
names
every
lonely
night.
If
love
could
build
a
highway,
I'd
be
knocking
at
your
door,
I'd
hold
you
in
my
arms
And
never
let
you
go
anymore.
You're
three
little
stars
in
my
Tennessee
sky,
Three
pieces
of
my
heart
that
time
can't
take
away.
No
matter
where
this
life
may
take
you,
Daddy
loves
you
every
day.
If
you're
missing
me,
my
children,
Look
up
at
the
moon
tonight.
I'll
be
looking
at
it
too,
Underneath
that
same
old
sky.
And
if
a
father's
prayer
could
cross
the
distance,
Mine
would
find
you
where
you
are: “
God,
keep
my
babies
safe
and
happy,
And
remind
them
Daddy's
never
far.”
Oh,
Oluwafikayomi,
you're
my
precious
son,
Oluwafayokemi,
my
beautiful
one.
Oluwafirekunmi,
my
little
flame,
Nothing
in
this
world
could
change
my
love
or
take
your
name.
I
may
not
be
beside
you,
I
may
not
hold
you
tonight,
But
you're
forever
in
my
heart,
You're
forever
in
my
sight.
Three
little
stars
in
my
darkest
sky,
Three
reasons
this
old
daddy
keeps
his
head
held
high.
And
when
the
day
comes
that
I
hold
you
again,
I'll
make
up
for
every
moment,
Every
tear,
every
mile,
every
lonely
night
back
then.
So
sleep
well,
my
babies,
Wherever
you
may
be…
Daddy
loves
you
more
than
these
words
could
ever
say.
Oluwafikayomi…
Oluwafayokemi…
Oluwafirekunmi…
Three
little
stars…
Three
pieces
of
me…
And
no
matter
how
far
you
go,
You'll
always
come
home
to
Daddy's
heart.
