I guess I must admit it...there’s a woman in my life.
And, no, she’s not my sister, and, no she’s not my wife.
Don’t jump to some conclusion, for it’s really not that bad-
I proudly call her “daughter”... and she proudly calls me Dad.

She holds a place within my heart, untouched by any other...
Different than the boys do, and even from her Mother.
There’s a unique relationship... I guess it’s really sad-
The love that binds the hearts of girls so tightly to their Dad.

For there a place he occupies, that’s suited for a man-
One day someone will take his place, and ask him for her hand-
The pain that come with parting... is the worst he’s ever had-
She breaks his heart so gently when she has to leave her Dad.

A daughter never really leaves a loving father, GS... for his love is with her every step she takes. This is so beautiful... my Dad may wonder why he gets an extra bunch of hugs when I see him again. *S*

She won't be leaving you at all....a bond between parent and child is unbreakable by anything.

That place in the heart is 'reserved' forever...no one can ever replace you there. This is touching, John. So sweet.
