My Dad

From the moment I could speak, my first word was Daddy,
Snuggled up in your big strong arms, to protect me from the baddies....
Lying awake night after night,
Waiting for you to turn the key,
Couldn't sleep sound at night, until you were home with me....

You kept me safe, you kept me warm...
protected from evil, protected from harm,
You walked me to school, I felt so proud,
smiling and beaming 'look everyone at my dad'

And now the years have passed, and I have a family of my own,
But I will always be your little girl, in your arms will always be home
