When I was just a little girl
sittin on your knee
you always looked down on me
your eyes full of life and glee.


When I was just a young girl
sittin on your knee
you'd try to be so stern
as you looked with love at me.
When I was just a crazy teen
standing defianlty at your knee
you would laugh and look at me
and say I could be anything I wanted to be.


When I became a young woman
sitting by your knee
you told me with your eyes
how proud you were of me.
Now I'm still that silly little girl
sitting by your knee
but when you look at me
Dad who is it that you see.

I really like this poem, I have always been a daddy's girl, and we have always been really close. This totally relates to the way that him and I are, so I am going to email this to him. Great job on the poem, I really liked it.

I also can relate to this one. I am and always will be a Daddy's girl( even being a full fledged woman with children of her own). Enjoyed the read.

ah, I like the sense of continuity...
reminds me of the song "que sera sera" for some reason (??)
good poem

Poetic Dreams....yanno? I do exactly that to my daughter now....she's 11, and hopefully she'll become a nun, (though we're not catholic, just seems like that would be great for my emotional state in the future...LOL). This was very well thought out and written. It's tough being a teenager...it's tough growing up these days period....it's even tougher on us parents to see you kids grow and go.....nice job!
