Daddy

<o:p> </o:p>

We may not have been as close as we should have been.

But you were my daddy and meant the world to me

You gave me life and a heart that’s now broke

You were always there in your own way

Sometimes not the way I wanted, but you were still there.

You are my daddy and always will be.

I will one day see you again, and give you that hug that I need to give.

I hope your happy up there in the sky

Looking down and wishing you could say hi.

I keep wishing to wake up and it all be a dream

You were taken from us to soon, and to cruel.

I love you and miss you and wish things could change

I want to be a good daughter, I want to change everthing.

But I can’t and I just want you to know I love you and always have

I may have been a stone in your shoe at times, as you were me.

But that never changed anything, you are my daddy.

You mean the world to me and I love you!

<o:p> </o:p>

Take care of him up there til we get up there to see him.

Make sure he’s loved and knows we miss and love him.

I’ll look up and say Hi, and hope to see you waving back.

I’m sorry daddy.
