Daddy's Girl

I wrote this poem back in 2004 for my husband, from my daughter - it hangs, framed, in his office.

Happy Father's Day, Handsome...we all love you dearly and you mean the world to us!

Daddy's Girl

Hold me in your arms, Daddy

and give me lots of love

For I've just left my heavenly home

From the skies way up above

Hold me by the hands, Daddy

and teach me how to walk

My little legs are wobbly;

I cannot yet begin to talk

Hold me on your shoulders, Daddy

up high where I can see

This great big scary world

that is so unknown to me

Hold me by the hand, Daddy

as I learn and start to grow

Skipping off to friends' and school

little by little, letting go

Hold me closer, Daddy

As I struggle to find my own way

My choices may not always be right

but love me anyway

Hold me by the arm, Daddy

as you walk me down the aisle

It's time for me to start a new life

'Tho I  hope I always make you smile

Hold me in your heart, Daddy

love me and let me go

For "Daddy's Girl" I'll always be

and I'll always love you so!
