If given the chance,
I'd have still chosen you
To be my dad.

Even knowing
That I would lose you again,
It is worth all these tears.

When I was down
And times were gray,
You were my sunshine.

You knew how to take
All my tears away.

A father reminiscing about his little girl                                             

A sincere poem from a son to a father whom he remembers fondly

Father,
I miss your love,
I miss your guiding hand.
You taught me the way to hold a bat,
To walk, to run, to stand.

Father,
You offered me advice,
But always let me be who I am,
You never questioned my decisions,
Your support helped me become a Man.

I know now how fortunate I was.
I was a lucky one;
To be the son of such a loving man,
Who reached out and touched his son.

Although I might
Not have always showed it,
I loved you,
Honored you
And was happy to be with you.
I was proud to be called
Your little girl.
You meant the world to me.

Your time here fell short
And now I feel so alone.
My heart is aching
And I feel completely crushed.

They say nothing loved
Is ever lost...
And Father you are loved so much.

And with the choices you made,
I would look over to you
And still see that little girl,
Who needed help tying her shoes.

Thank you...
For showing me that love
Has no boundaries.

Thank you...
For making me stop
And smell the flowers
That you picked in the garden.

Thank you...
For being you

            I miss you little girl...

Oh, how I miss the way
You would bound out of bed
Every moring,
With that cute little smile on your face.

How you would always
Work beside me,
Wanting to know everything
I could teach you.

You were always
Ready for a ride to the store,
Or a walk in the park.

You are my little girl,
Even as you grew up.
