About the Poem

This is a poem about the impact my dad had on me before his death by leukemia four years ago.

Daddy's Little Girl

If I had my life to do over,
I'd have chosen you to be my dad
once more.
Even if it meant losing you again,
It's worth all the tears in the
world.
You were my sunshine when skies
were gray.
I loved you and honored you;
You took all my tears away.
I was happy to be with you,
Proud to be your little girl.
Sometimes we would argue,
But to me you meant the world.
Your love was always pure;
You treated me as your own.
Your time seemed all too short and
I feel so alone.
What can I take from this?
My heart is completely crushed.
But nothing loved is ever lost -
And you are loved so much.

This poem really touched me. Although there is deep pain in it, I can feel the strenght of love. Love, that still is in your heart and will never go away. So many people say that time can heal the wounds. But I think this can only work when time brings a lot of love. And in your words, the love of your father in memory and the love to your father is so great that pain should have no chance to destroy your life. I really like your poem, christina

Your poem was wonderful. I lost my father now 8 years ago, he was my best friend and I miss him so. I was his daddy's girl, and your poem brought tears to my eyes it expressed the same feeling i have towards my dad. I dont think any other poem could be as sweet and loving as your was. I am sorry for your loss, but your poem has touched me. From one daddy's girl to another, God bless
