i wrote this for my step daughters...my husband set it to chords and he plays guitar, and the two girls sing it and accompany him on guitar and mandolin. it pretty much describes their lives.
I love this so much.
It is a lot like me & my life to start with, though I have not become a Mum or wife (ye) myself; but I too still need my Dad too!
And though I don't know the pain of losing my Mum (thankfully ~ huge hugs to you by the way!) and I can feel the pain that I might feel if that happened to me.
Amazing poem hun x

thank u nicky...i am lucky to have them in my life
True daddy's girl, lovely poem. I was confused in the final stanza with the word "we've". I think you meant "we have", "we've" breaks up the flow to me.

sometimes that matters when it is sung, and they do sing it.
Thanks Mandy. Made me cry at the end. Being a dad with grown children who have all flown the nest. A nice little reflective and descriptive piece.

You must be a dad's girl more but you love your mom ... As for the poem it is full of life's journey that we all go through or some ... I like the lines:
Time passed by and our life was fine
no ones dad was nice as mine... Well penned.
