I wrote this poem today for my Daddy…
Daddy
Just thinking about you sometimes is enough to make me cry
I can’t help thinking back into the past
I remember the way you use to grab me
And spin me around and around
Nothing else in the world mattered to me
I had you
Remember when you use to wake me up when I was little
And make my pink blanket into a cape
Then fly me into the living room where my hot chocolate with marshmallows was waiting for me
I loved waking up to you Daddy
Remember when you taught me how to ride my first bike
I can still feel the wind in my hair
You pushed me for hours and hours
Promising you wouldn’t let go
But when I finally realized you weren’t holding on anymore
I turned around to find you standing there
With a big smile on your face
I’ll never forget that moment
It was priceless
Do you remember how I use to crawl in bed with you each night
And you would read to me until you thought I was asleep
Then turn out the light and run your fingers through my soft blond hair
Until both you and I were sound asleep
To this day when people run their hands through my hair
I feel like your right there
All I’ve ever wanted to do is make you proud
Because I love it when you say something like that’s my girl
But I feel like time after time all I’ve done is let you down
I’ve watched you go from smiling at my pictures on the fridge
To crying when you found out I had crashed your truck
I’m so sorry Dad, I’ve never meant for so many thing to happen
Sometimes I think about me on my wedding day
All dressed in white and more beautiful than ever
But I always cry when I get to the part where I see you walking me down the isle
Because I know I wont want to let go
I wish you knew how much I cared
You’re everything to me but even more
You’re my Dad, my only Dad
And I want you to know I love you
Always will
Always have
Always and forever
Your baby girl
