Daddy's Little Girl

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
