Letter To Daddy

Dear Daddy,
            You had to leave and I don't know why
            All I want to do is cry
            My heart is broken I miss you so 
            Oh Daddy oh Daddy why did you have to go 
            They say you're now in a better place 
             But I no longer see your face 
             I hope you're looking down on me 
             I'm trying to make you proud can't you see 
             I miss your smile and the gentle touch of your hand
             Your kind words and the way you would always understand 
             When I go will I be with you 
              Hopefully that is true 
              But right now all I have to say 
              Daddy oh Daddy why did you go away 
                          My heart is broken and I miss you so
                                          Love,              
                                                 Your Little Girl
