Its strange now how our lives have changed.
Some claim this is all prearranged.
But, here I am, clad in this pretty black dress dad.
I know you dont like it when I cry but I cant help but be sad.
Standing by your side, I want to lie there beside you.
Daddy, I never even got to bid you adieu.
Youll never know how much that hurt,
Never getting to remind you that Ill always be your little girl.
There are times I catch myself starting to tear up,
Every time I see a picture of you, even if isnt a close-up.
You never were like other fathers,
Yet, that was never a bit of a bother,
For though sometimes
As the clock strikes 12,
my heart begins to slow,
My thoughts stray to you,
returning pain I know.
My eyes blink away tears,
my hands clenching tight,
Hiding away my feelings,
holding back with all my might.
I love you, Dad,
I miss you every day,
And as another year passes,
There is something I want to say....
Happy Birthday Dad,
I may have found my pearl,
but I will always remain,
Daddy's little girl.
