Alison my daughter, there's no one like you <br />My little girl, my child number two <br />But sharing first place in my heart <br />And I still loved you, even after we were torn apart <br /> <br />You are back in my life once again <br />And making me the happiest of men <br />My baby girl, now you're all grown <br />After years, hearing your voice on the phone <br /> <br />We both cried, you and I <br />And happiness was the reason why <br />You're filling the empty space in my soul <br />I'm a daddy again, now I feel whole <br /> <br />Alison seeing you again, after all these years <br />Expressing our love with words, hugs and tears <br />Five days together, how fast they did fly <br />On the plane flying home, I had to cry <br /> <br />And finding out you are a poet too <br />My gift of words was given to you <br />The next time we're together we'll write a poem <br />Run off extra copies, for you to take home <br /> <br />Alison my baby, you live so far away <br />But I promise to call you each and every day <br />To tell you I love you and so much more <br />How happy I am, as I was once before <br /> <br />Visit or phone call, when it's time to say goodbye <br />It's all I can do not to break down and cry <br />For you my daughter, I will try to be strong <br />Because in your eyes, my tears don't belong<br /><br />Harry J.
