Daddy, you are always there for me
Mother held my tiny being
Daddy smiled
He held me and rocked me
Softly singing a lullaby .
My first steps were taken
Holding Daddy’s strong hands
Each step emboldened
Every fall softened .
You were my mentor
You were my confidante
You were my counsellor
You were my escort .
You led the way
Protected me from harm
Softly you wiped my tears
Though crying is not wrong
You said
You kissed my bruise
And made me strong .
I understood the power of love
Because You are my Daddy
Your handprints are imprinted
On my mind
Your caring touch
is embossed in my heart
I remember you Daddy
I will not cry
Because it is overI
I will smile
Because it happened.
