thank you daddy

Yesterday I heard something,
Something that hurt so deeply;
I was hurting inside,
I could not understand it.
Daddy I thank God,
That I had you for my dad;
You were always there for me,
Always talked to me.
If someone should ask me,
Would you be happy with another dad;
I would not lie to them,
I truly would say no.
You were my dad,
You were my friend;
You were my hero,
But most of all,
You were the best.
Sometimes I feel sad,
Wondering if I told you;
How much I loved you,
How much I appreciated everything you did for me.
I never thanked you enough,
I did not tell you I love you enough;
But you knew me and my thoughts,
You knew my heart.
Daddy even though you not with us anymore,
I still tell you I love you;
I still thank God I had a dad like you and I will still take no other in your place.
I know you would be proud of who I am,
Proud of the way I raised my kids;
Proud of the woman I am,
Proud that I am your girl.
I do love you daddy,
I miss you but I know you are with me with every decision I make and I am glad.
Love you so much dad. 27 October 2016 by Elize Melrose
