When I was a little girl
My daddy said to me..
"Child you are and always will be, everything to me"..
Back then I would just giggle and go about my day..
Not knowing as a woman those words would keep me sane..
For you see dear friends my daddy passed away..when i was merely 10 years old..
I guess he'd always stay..
So years went by and I missed him so..
My heart was filled with lead..
The only man that cared for me was dead..
Time passed by and life began to take it's toll..
I met a man and sure he said my daddy's words and all..
But then one day he left me..
And I shouted with regret...
"Daddy just like you he cared but then he left!"...
Looking back I realise that I was very wrong..
Because daddy did not only care for me..
To him I was a song..
His happy place, his princess if you may and if daddy had a choice...i bet he would have stayed..
Not everyone will hurt you, they all don't go away..
Daddy I now realise the price you had to pay..
So I wrote down these words to make you see them too, because just like years ago..you still watch what I do..
I'm sorry that I doubted you..
I'm sorry that I screamed..
I know there is no greater love than a father's heartfelt truth.
