I found this while searching my old "Myspace" blogs. I wrote this poem for my dad about 2 years ago and thought I would post it.
Happy Fathers day, Daddy! I love you!
Daddy's Little Girl
She was her daddy's little girl
He made her first pig tails
A time when there was barely enough hair
She loved her daddy
He taught her "the boyfriend kiss"
A time when her daddy was the only man she could ever think of loving
She would always be her daddy's little girl
She would run into his arms when he came home from work
Just because she missed his hugs
She loved her daddy
He would sing to her
She would make him sing a song over and over again
She always loved when he sang to her
Time went by, it escaped her so fast
Eight years old
She held onto her daddy's hands as he said a prayer and emersed her with water
The first thing she saw was her daddy's smile
She was her daddy's little girl
Time went by faster this time
The little girl grew into an awkward teen
Her daddy watched as she struggled with lifes blows
Aching for the time when he could wrap his arms around her and make it all better
For awhile the little girl forgot her daddy was always there
Sixteen years old
Her first date, her first car, her first kiss, her first love
Though she didn't show it, her daddy was always her number one
Eighteen years old
She's now an adult
Eighteen years ago her daddy held her in his hands and gave her a baby's blessing
Unaware of what this girl would be like or what she would face in life
One thing would always be for sure:
He would always be her hero
He would always be her number one
She would always be her daddy's little girl
