Daddy's Baby Girl

he used to remember when she was in his arm. he told himself he would protect her from any harm. she was small and fragile like any other baby. but now shes matured to a full grown lady. she graduated high school along with her friends. she left behind all the drama and the silly trends. now its her time to continue the next chapter of life. but the dads pain of seeing her leave is as sharp as a knife. however she does go away for college. she will inspire people with her knowledge. during her college life she meets new people. but she also hooks up with the wrong guy who is evil. he threatens her and gives her bruises. she is exhausted and feels like she always loses. so she decides to overdose on a pill. she even thinks of jumping out the windowsill. but she knows she is stronger than this. so she packs her things and goes back to the person she missed. so the dad gets a surprise visit. he says, "It's your boyfriend isn't it"? she replies, "Yes but i wont see him anymore". the dad replies back, "So come on in what are you waiting for". deep down he is happy his daughter is there. but he doesn't want to disappoint her as if he didn't care. but during the visit she gets mixed up with gangs and thugs. during the visit she even starts selling drugs. but as usual someone ends up in jail. that's when the dad pays for her bail. but old habits die hard... because the dad finds his daughter high in his yard. fed up with her behavior he says, " No more!" so he packs her things and exits her out the door. he is upset but he knows he had to make the choice. he closes the door and already misses the sound of her voice. two months pass and there is a knock on the dads door. it's his daughter severely ill and extremely poor. she says, "Dad I'm sorry please take me back home". he tears up replying, "Of course your still my baby girl... even if you are full grown".
