Daddy's Girl

Folder: 
July 2002 Poetry

Playing baseball in the yard.

Playing catch with dad.

Running to his open arms,

when I was feeling sad.

~

Going places in the car,

having fun all day.

Anticipating his arrival home,

from work so we could play.

~

Teaching me to play golf,

at the local driving range.

I was little, but learned a lot,

I guess some things never change.

~

Walking with him through the store,

my arm locked in his.

We still have lots of fun together,

but some things I still miss.

~

Laughing, joking, having fun.

Long talks in his room.

Watching his little girl turn from a seed,

to a flower in full bloom.

~

Looking through a picture box,

at memories that soothe.

Like daddy and his baby girl,

smiling in the picture booth.

~

My bright, long, red hair,

has faded to strawberry blonde.

And I may be getting older,

but we will always have that bond.

~

I will always love you daddy.

You’re the best in the whole world.

And no matter what happens,

I’ll always be your little girl.

~

I’ve always been a daddy’s girl,

and I know I’m just like you.

I’ve always admired your strength,

in all that we’ve gone through.

~

But no matter what goes on in life,

when it’s time for me to leave this world.

I want it to be carved in stone,

“Always was a daddy’s girl”
