Ode to a Stepdaughter

I never got to teach you Maths, Or English, or to drive. I never got to pick you up From school when you were five. I missed all the nativities, Where your angel wings unfurl. And never had the chance To call you "Daddy's little girl". I never took you to the zoo, Or gave you piggy-backs. Or helped you to appreciate The world of QI facts I never helped you through the painful Years that girls go through. Nor did I get to be the one That came to your rescue. Despite me missing all these things You turned out pretty good. And I love you to the moon and back Just like a daddy should.
