Daddys Girl

You held me when I was just a babe, with hands so big and worn ..
You took responsibility from the day that I was born ..
You worked all day to give us food and a roof above our heads ...
You gave us coats and shoes and toys and a nice warm comfy bed ...
But one thing that you gave us most, each day without complaint...
Was your love and understanding on a never ending plate....
Most people think their dads the best, but I for sure can say ...
YOU are the best , the number one and in my heart you will stay ....
Thank you dad for being you and giving me a start...
You will always be most dear to me , even when we are apart .........
