When I was just just a little girl I thought I knew it all But as the years passed by I have never felt so small I never knew what life would be like without you teaching me But now I'm lost and am scared but there's no way to flee Dad I know you'd want me to be happy and I know you'd want me to smile But losing you has confused my soul and set me back awhile We were just becoming closer, becoming the best of friends I know we had many disagreements but in the end we made amends I miss you everyday and cry when I'm alone I'm lost inside with nowhere to hide I wish that I had known Life is different now I feel guilty to laugh and sing I know it shouldn't be that way but you were my everything I looked up to you for guidance, for strength, for love, for hope But in the end you'll always be my best friend and in time I'll learn to cope It's almost been three years dad and life has knocked me down It's beaten me up, bruised my heart, and tossed me all around But life has also brought a brand new meaning From diaper changes, little coos, and the occasional screaming From I love you's, to bedtime kisses, all the way to morning messes From pacifiers, to baby swings, and little tiny frilly things Baby baths, little naps, apple juice, and diaper bags Cuddles, tantrums, spills, and cuts So much sass it's driving me nuts The stress, the love, this life that I chose Could only get better the more that they grow My heart is so full, this much is true The only thing my life could ever need now is you. edited by jessica312 on 9/19/2017

You have written your poem in couplets (2-line rhymes). If you would add a whiteline after every 2 or 4 lines, it would read easier. I have a hard time reading texts without paragraphs, and it's one of the reasone I skipped over your poem at first.
The person above me said it all, really. The poem itself is beautiful, what you want to say too, but it would greatly improve by cadence.
