Daddi

It's been five years without you,
Five years to help us grieve.
I know it was hard for you to give up,
I know you had to leave.

I've done just as you wanted,
I've done just as you told.
I got straight A's for you daddi,
I even got the gold.

There's a couple more things daddi,
To help fill you in.
In case you can't see me from there,
I have your eyes, hair and skin.

I've got your brains in math,
And common sense pretty much too.
I play volleyball, baseball, street hockey and soccer,
One of my favourite colours is blue.

You've made me a better person,
And have all of my respect.
And there's one thing daddi I'll assure you,
Your love - I'll never neglect.

It's getting late now daddi,
I better go to sleep.
I don't know what I'll dream of,
Maybe we can meet.

Well daddi I really miss you,
Daddi I want to cry.
I've always been a daddi's girl,
Why'd you have to die?
