Dear Father

Dear daddy from the first time I remember you entering my life you been dear to me you was the first man in life to hold me you was the first man to tell me you love me you was the first man to set me straight Dear daddy I wouldn't be the woman I am if it wasn't for you. Dear daddy when I begin to grow older you was my first soldier to give this young warrior strength sent to me from the chief your smile, your warm heart would keep me at ease I knew you was always there for me no matter how tough times got you stood strong in your spot Dear daddy when I left your nest I assume I was ready but oh boy you knew I would come knocking at your door asking for your advice asking for your infamous hug when I cried over our first fight I realized how blessed I am to have such a daddy Dear daddy I know god has you in the palm of his hands with your beautiful smile daddy I know you are still making your peach cobbler I will never forget your voice as you preach every Sunday bad asses straight oh daddy I will never forget all you gave to me Now dear daddy I'm still holding on to your love I'm still holding on to your teachings that's what sustain me that what keep's me grounded until I see you again in heaven Dear Daddy Copy@written June2013
