last chance to daydream

I won't have to daydream about my little niece anymore.

I won't have to wonder
will she have a squeaky voice and texas twang like mama
or a big laugh like daddy?

will she be kind, thoughtful and a dancer like brother
or tender, funny and a lover of stuffed animals like other brother?

will she have dark hair or strawberry blonde hair
will she have hair?!

will we still call her Sweet Monkey 10 years from now when she wears lip gloss and has pierced ears?
will she be like Daddy Cool's family emotional and creative?
is she going to eat beef?
will she love the beach?

maybe when she is 5 will she know all the songs to annie or maybe play soccer
maybe she will watch astro's games with daddy
and play in mommy's old super high heels and sneak a spray of perfume

maybe she will love bluebonnets or sunflowers
maybe her favorite animal will be the elephant and she will learn to make a perfect trunk horn with her hands

I won't have to guess her name
or imagine her face and smile
and little baby girl smell

or daydream about my first niece hug.
