My First Love

When I was young You loved me unconditionally There was nothing You wouldn’t do for me You even gave me Your last As I grew up You tried to teach me Some of life’s lessons Because you were in the world When I hurt You comforted me Often telling me Everything will be alright You gave me A shoulder to cry on When my heartache was More than I could bare You were the light The strong force in my life I miss you daily I still feel The pain in my heart From your absence Wishing on a star That you were here If only I could go back in time I would change the outcome And have you standing by my side I love you daddy!
