Daddy's Little Girl

Daddy, my protector,

I wake with you in mind,

You were my leading director,

And from the start we were entwined,

I loved your booming laughter,

I marveled your callused hands,

You made my life a wonder,

And centered all my plans,

You picked me up when I was down,

You wiped away the tears,

You turned up my every frown,

And loved me all these years,

I've been such a pain,

I acted like a brat,

But you never showed any strain,

And to me you never snapped at,

I applaud you for your patience,

I cherish you for your faith,

In my rising dedication,

So I plague you like a wraith,

I love you, I adore you,

My everlasting memory,

I cherish you too,

Without you I'd be empty,

And there's nothing I won't do for you...
