With Love, Daughter.

Walking down the memory lane,
Where as a child I'd hear you sing,
Of all the sorrow and all the pain,
And all the beauty that life brings.

I remember the long strolls we shared,
The countless lessons you were preaching,
The very essence to every word said,
And how everyday would bring new meaning.

If anything, you've taught me how to love and to care,
You picked me up when I was shattered,
You held me close in my despair,
And it is in your warm embrace that I feel most protected.

Daddy, I might have lapsed and lost my way, 
Might have not said what I needed to say,
But everyday I'd sit and pray,
That God will never take you away.

Your love is endeared to my heart,
Your spirit is engraved in my mind,
When all else fails and falls apart,
You'd guide me through though my faith is blind.

Dear Daddy, time has passed ever so swiftly,
Season's changed and so has it's glory,
But those distinctive memories will always be,
The best part of our lives, you and me.

And I will always love you, Daddy.
