Keeleigh

younger than her older brother
still the first of her only mother

she came second on the chart
but tied for first inside my heart

so many years that she has left
so much time to develop depth

to become a woman and find a man
to have a life she can understand

I'll always be here for you my dear
you'll always be daddy's honey bear

through the ups, and downs, lows, and highs
I'll love you always without compromise

no matter what you do or say
I'll be here for you every day

at times when you need me and times when you don't
I'll always be around to embarrass you the most

when you call the house late at night
I'll answer with "is everything all right"

because life without you would be defeat
because life without you would be incomplete
