It allows me time for reflection
As a "Daddy's Girl", I remember warmly,
All the times we spent with affection..
Your warm hazel eyes, dancing with joy,
I was the only one that inherited those eyes.
The humorous way that you looked at life,
Your dedication to us came as no surprise.
You worked day and night, always on call,
Your caring generosity always prevailed.
If there was a need for any of your services,
You were always there, you never failed.
In the buisness world, you earned respect,
Of all those in your field.
Your honesty and dedication to all,
Was a trait not to be concealed.
But as my Father, that's where you excelled,
Being the very center of my existence.
Your guidance and loving praise you gave to me,
At anytime I needed assistance..
Any girl knows the special bond with her Daddy,
So different than any she will ever have with another.
I gave you up sixteen long and painful years ago,
Nowhere to turn to now, except to Mother..
On Father's Day I need to express,
The bond between a daughter and her Dad..
Our days together cut all too short,
But I will always cherish the times we had.
Father's, we honor you this day,
For the love and guidance you provide,
For being the "Daddy" we each need,
And the hugs and kisses you give on the side..
I Love and Miss You, Dad..
