--- To My Daughter ---

For very long I've pondered,
Wondered what to say.
How to show you Daddy's love
That you should have each day.

A poem can not hug you
Or hold you when you cry.
It cannot give you Daddy's love
Or see love in your eyes.

One thing that a poem can do
Is tell you of my love
Of how your Daddy cherishes
his sweet gift from above.

Not a sunset passes by
That I do not think of you.
I had so many dreams of us
And all the things we'd do.

Playing in the sunlight
Walking at the zoo.
Buying you a puppy
Learning all things new.

I will not tear down others
Or tell you why I'm gone.
You will surely learn the
Truth one day later on.

Just know now that I love you,
Always have and always will.
Know the day I saw you first
Was my life's greatest thrill.

Those newborn eyes opened
Wide yearning to see all.
I'm so proud that Daddy's eyes
Were the first you ever saw.

Know that when you miss me,
And wish that I was there
I miss more than you can know.
Know how much I care.

I would give my very soul,
All I ever had.
To kiss you "Night night" every day,
To get to be your Dad.

So take these words for now
My Love, and let them be a start.
One day soon you will know
The depths of Daddy's heart.

No one ever listened themselves into trouble.

Very touching tribute. A poem can last a lifetime and is a good start. Here's hoping you get to spend lots of time together and do wonderous things.

Be in her life every moment that you can ...
and she will be so appreciative each day when she thinks of you.
