Virginia Gelok Poet Rhyme

Daddy's Girl

My Momma once told me, "You're just like your Dad."
I know she was pleased, and she was really glad.
My Dad carried me gently when I was a baby,
A little older and he'd have a tea party... Maybe! 
A few years later he taught me to ride a bike, 
Warned and guided me when we took a hike.
My Dad questioned the lessons that school taught,
I had to teach him with the calculator we bought.
My Dad has always wanted the best for me,
Ever since I was little and sat upon his knee.
I'm all grown up and my mind is in a whirl
Because I still know, I'm Daddy's little Girl.

L Milton Hankins May 27, 2021 at 7:37 PM This is such a sweet poem, Virginia. I wish I had had a father like yours...but I didn't. Virginia Gelok May 27, 2021 at 8:07 PM Although I was not an only daughter I was the middle one who seemed to be lost for attention but my dad did try his best to show us all his love. I am sorry to hear you didn't have that. {BTW...still can't comment on yours. will be in touch with PS tomorrow)
