Daddy's Hand

Reaching up to hold his hand,
all five fingers there I'd stand,
Proud as I could be,
Because my Daddy smiled at me.

Little hugs and kisses,
making birthday wishes,
flowers in my hair.
Evening walks and Sunday drives,
riding rides at fairs.

Holding on to Daddy's hand,
all five fingers there I'd stand,
Proud as I could be,
Because my Daddy smiled at me.

Butterfly kisses and bee stings,
Lil dresses and bows,
pushes on park swings,
sand between my toes.

Holding on to Daddy's hand,
all five fingers there I'd stand,
Proud as I could be,
Because my Daddy smiled at me.

Little giggles, making jokes
laughing,running,little pokes,
Having such a blast.
Getting tickled with himself,
because he got me last.

Holding on to Daddy's hand,
all five fingers there I'd stand,
Proud as I could be,
Because my Daddy smiled at me.

Down the aisle in my white dress,
side by side we stand.
Daddy in his very best,
walking hand in hand.

In front of all the Church,
for everyone to see.
My Daddy gave my hand away,
to the one who married me.

Holding on to my Husband's hand
all five fingers there I stand,
Proud as I could be,
Because my Daddy smiled at me.

Having children of my own
I finally understand,
why my Daddy smiled so much
when I held his hand.

Although he was my Daddy
and I was proud as I could be,
you see I was his little girl
and he was proud of me.

It took a little growing up
and years to understand
but I'm so proud I was
the one,

To hold my Daddy's hand.

You're Gone

My heart beat fast and then stood still,
my world was silent yet I screamed until,
I couldn't breathe.

Numb inside yet full of pain.
The words i heard hit me once again,
I can't believe, You're gone.

To my knees I fell but my heart sank lower,
on the side of the road where I had pulled over to
call and see,and that's when mom told me, you're gone.

The ride to the house was too much to bare,
I was gasping for breath but was breathing the air,
its killing me, you're gone.

Without you here what will I do.
The joy I once had, the world I once knew,
it's not there, you're gone.

Everyday Daddy I think of you and my thoughts
always leave me with the pain renewed,
I still can't believe, you're gone.
