Being Her Dad

                               Being Her Dad

You think you know love,
but you really don't.
You say you’ll never leave her,
and in your heart you won’t.

She touched you like no other,
like no one else will do.
She had you when first you met,
before you knew it, she was two.

You hold her hand and watch her grow,
and when apart, you just want more.
You brush her hair, you, watch her sleep,
you turn around, and now she’s four.

You go to the park, she holds your hand,
nothing else matters, she makes you alive.
You read her books and rough around,
look at the calendar, she just turned five.

I look to the clouds and I thank heaven,
my little girl is beautiful and seven.
When we’re apart I still get sad,
but nothing’s better then Being her dad!
