Daddy
I have never felt so much love burn in my heart
because nobody has ever lived up to your love for me
and nothing in this God-forsaken world could falter how I feel for you
I let you in on my darkest of secrets
yet instead of peering at me with disappointment
you look into my tear-filled eyes with everything I don't deserve
At my worst moments in life
you not only stood behind me, but held me up with your reassurance
your courage never fails to astound me
all the while, it never falters
you are my crutch when I'm broken
and my sunshine when life dims to darkness
what in my life have I ever done to deserve one such as you?
as I lay contently in your arms, as I did when only a fragile infant
I feel your unconditional love for me
you are my star, my shoulder, my idol, and the best friend I could have ever hoped for
though I love you with all of my being
you always seem to trump it with your own voluptuous heart
never leave me, Father
and I'll do all I can to make you proud...for eternity
