Papa I love you In all your ways Let me see the ladybug You and I found today Can we go sledding?? Out in the clean white snow My wooden sled it is red Down the hill we go Today I ride my tricycle Around and around I go Circling the house outside Singing songs I know You watch me out the window And wave and smile at me This I love about you As I go around and sing Today we go to DisneyWorld And ride fast through a mountain It goes really fast through space It was so much fun I thought We went to visit Mommy Wow I have a little brother I thought he'd be a girl Can I hold him please?? Sitting on the couch I hold him in my lap I in pink with a big cheesy grin You aim and click Daddy today I get a bike You pick it out with me We brought one home A banana bike it be You and I love ice cream Dad To Dairy Queen we go Mom gets a shake, and you get a cone Me, I love butterscotch sundaes I'm growing older every year Childhood passing through But, I love you Dad For I am still your little girl You've seen me through a lot School plays you came to see And graduate I did too Both you captured on video Hey Dad I start college soon I am so excited Because I hope to be a teacher I hope I finish soon This weekend we go to Hope To dig and play in the dirt A ride or two, 4 wheeling we go My younger brother he's there too We sit by the fire I talk and talk and talk You say a lot of interesting things I learn from you so much It's so quiet and peaceful Except for brother teasing me Watching this fire with you Lets roast a marshmallow or two These days you let me know What you want for me My boyfriend is a dork You say, "I'll take him mining" Some time has gone by Still in college plugging away I hope to be a teacher Someday maybe Dad you drive me to work Sometimes from school For in the winter It gets soo dang cold Wow I met this great guy today He works with me Dad I just know you'll love him For he's nice and sweet and so sincere It is so strange But I decided today That this is the time I will be moving away I talked about it so long I will be going to Oregon As I said a few years ago Give me a hug Dad I will be ok In all of my life You have been my Dad Through highs and lows You love me so It's funny how you tease me I tell everyone it's cuz you love me For I let them know if you ignore They best stay away for you don't like them This day I write you Dad And tell you how I feel Hugs and kisses I send Without you it would be unreal I love you so much and always will "Somewhere, somehow, it should be possible to touch someone and never let go again. To hold someone, not for a moment but forever." Unknown |

Once again, Bridgette, congratulations on your 1000th post! I like the way you started this poem with your childhood memories and then gradually wrote about your adult life, always talking about the things you and your dad did together. Very sweet! Has he seen this yet? Elizabeth I'm grabbing my hat and coat I'm leaving the cat a note Quick call me a ferry boat-getting out of town! |
