Daddy’s little Girl that is what I’ll always be to you, <br />With me sitting upon your knee at the age of three or two. <br />With your glaring smile to ease my tears, you made me feel secure <br />Beyond all belief I was daddy’s girl I knew that for sure. <br /> <br />Do you remember the paddling pool, and the kites we flew in the sky <br />I got lost n sat on a path, waiting for my daddy to come by. <br />Then the sun formed and beyond my fear, there my daddy appeared once more. <br />With a bee sting on my belly button and my daddy at hand, he sucked the poison away and moved <br />The bee away with his bare hands. <br />Beyond all belief I was daddy’s girl I knew that for sure. <br /> <br />Daddy, you did silly things that always made me giggle <br />You did that play fighting with me and my brother, <br />That got us all in a fuddle, with a push here n a shove there <br />Me, n my brother we flew everywhere. <br />Beyond all belief I was daddy’s girl I knew that for sure. <br /> <br />But, daddy then I grew and matured, a young girl grown once more <br />With my first love to arise, daddy I knew you would find room to critisize <br />Little did I know, daddy’s are always right, the only man to be my saviour is <br />My daddy by far, yes I’m sure that is right. <br />Beyond all belief I was daddy’s girl I knew that for sure <br /> <br /> <br />So, here I am daddy before you now, as a young woman <br />With my life still to lead and cloud upon me <br />I know you will be above watching me, <br />With a ray of sunshine to reflect your smile <br />And the tears that portray the worlds loss <br />Beyond all belief I was, I am I will always be a daddy’s girl I know that for sure. <br /> <br /> <br />Dedicated: To Frank Barnes <br />A husband, father, brother and uncle and a dearest friend to all who had the privilege of being within his company.... a fellow man from the Territorial Army .... May your soul live on forever and I hope you are at peace.<br /><br />Ruth Rayment<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/daddy-s-little-girl-49/
