Always daddys little girl

Holding my finger she learned to walk
I was there when she first began to talk
In my arms, she would play all day
She was the smile on my face, the sun ray

Every hard days of work, I got home tired
All I wanted to do was come home, rest and lie
I used to break down and silently cry
She used to hug me so tight; I felt like I had won even though that day I got fired

She was my princess and I was the jewel on her crown
She came up to my waist but at her I never looked down
She was the strength that made me feel tall
The one that made me feel I had it all

I was her hero, her number one
She never made me wish of having a son
She was everything I wanted her to be
The best thing was, most she only loved me

I loved poetry, so she became a writer
I could never fight back, so for me, she became a fighter
I loved to draw, so she became an artist
She completed everything on my wish list

She was the perfect daughter any dad could have
Once in a while she made me cry but mostly made me laugh
She told me how I was her backbone that helped her stand
How she would always need my hand

Soon I started to see a change
Suddenly the difference between our age,
Started to show.
Soon she needed me less
Her life without me wasn't a complete mess

She started to get annoyed when I asked her how her life was
There was mostly silence between us...a word then a pause
Suddenly I wasn't the only important guy
Daddy’s little girl was saying goodbye

Those late night parties kept me worried all night
I could not let her out of my sight
She started calling me an over-protective freak
Never realized, she'd hurt me deep

So I moved on and let her go
Without her my mind started working slow,
I no more felt whole
I missed my soul

But one day weeping she came in slamming the door
I didn't ask what was wrong, we were no more close
Her hair messed up and make-up smudged on her cheek
And all her eyes did, were leak

She looked tired and hopeless
Her life was a mess,
All she did was cry
And when I looked her closely in the eye,

I found that little angel that I once held in my arm
She still hadn't lost her cute charm
I held her close once again
Letting her cry on my shoulder, wishing I could take away all her pain

That day we spent in tears
But letting go off her fears
I felt like holding my baby close to me forever
I wanted to let her go never

She was only my girl
My white shining pearl
No one could break her heart; I was the only guy,
Who was allowed to make her cry

"Daddy, even if I’m your fighter and I’m so strong
I do make mistakes and things go wrong.
I just never want you to think that you've lost me
Cause daddy’s little girl I’ll always be.
I never faced you because I was afraid,
Afraid that you would think I’m a looser,
Think I wasn't a good chooser
Though it is true
That I’ll always be your little girl, cause in every step of life, I need you"

That day I knew
That no matter how much my daughter grew
She’d still say "I love you"
If not many times, definitely a few

“Dad, I need you there,
I want you to tell me you care
Even if I don’t show
Please never let me go
Cause after all you’re my super dad,
I believe you’ll never let me be sad.”
