Poems for Daddy

MY FIRST LOVE

I don't remember the first time I saw his face...
I couldn't tell you the day or time we met.
I know that I loved him with an everlasting love,
And the feel of his arms around me, I'll never forget.

I remember days on the beach, in the sun
And nights under the stars.
I remember feeling, when I was with him
That all the world was ours.

There came a time, I wasn't sure if he really loved me...
But of course he did, he had to, that was the "rule"
Many nights I spent with just my tears and my broken heart...
I wanted no one's love but his, which made me the biggest fool.

I remember, clearly, the LAST time I saw him....
The look on his face...the softness of his touch...
The tenderness in his eyes.
Without a word he said so much.

He left me shortly after our last meeting...
He's now with the angels above.....
I only hope he knows, as I do now,
That her Daddy was this little girl's first love.

Where Daddy Waits

For those of us that are here in tears
It seems like days, since he left us here.
But it's been three years since that awful day,
When the angels took my Daddy away.
I miss him on those endless nights
When Daddy is needed to make everyhing right.
I miss his smile, his laugh, his charm,
I miss being held in Daddy's arms.
I remember his stories, his smell, his touch...
I still miss him so very much.
But when my last breath, I finally draw,
And I walk through death's open door,
He'll be there, standing, at Heaven's Gates
I know, that's where my Daddy waits.

Many thanks to Annette for finding these and sending them to me.

[Daddy]
