Poem
Daddy I remember, I was probably about three, all the times you made me laugh, like when you tickled me. Daddy I adored you, even when I made you mad, youv'e always taken care of me, through the good times and the bad. Daddy I remember, when you would play guitar, and we would sing to grandma, to me you were a star. Didn't have much money, and when mom went away, you worked, cleaned and cooked for us, and taught us how to pray. Then one day I turned sixteen, a real tough age for me, didn't always think things through and acted selfishly. All I ever meant to do was make you proud of me, I'm sorry if I wasn't who you expected me to be. Daddy I was hurting too, you also caused me pain, and just like you I sometimes felt I was about to go insane. Daddy it is true that you have given me a lot, because you only wanted me to have the things you never got. Daddy I appreciate the things youv'e bought for me, but the happiest Iv'e ever been was when we barely had a thing. The love and trust between us then was very special to me, and there's no amount of money that could replace those memories. Daddy what I'm getting at is no matter what you do, there's nobody else on earth that could ever hold a candle to you. Because it takes a special man to raise two kids alone, nobody helped you do it, you did it on your own. Daddy your my hero, the good times outweigh the bad, because God gave me the best daddy a girl could ever have.
