DADDY'S GIRL

DADDY'S GIRL

A Poem by mandy
"

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.

"

When I was just a little girl,

I played with dolls, and fixed my curls,

I rode my pony and climbed a tree,

Fell off my bike and scraped my knee,

     I needed my Dad to comfort me.

 

Time passed by and our life was fine,

no ones Dad was as nice as mine.

Then I entered my teenage years,

With all it's thrills and secret fears.

     Bet Mom and Dad cried a million tears.

 

I soon became a grown-up girl,

Moved through life in a crazy whirl.

I married young, then motherhood,

Had lots of friends in the neighborhood.

     I thought I had it really good.

 

Then I lost Mom and felt so sad,

Thank God that I still had my Dad.

In later years, I was all alone,

A single Mom, making a home.

     Boy, did I ever need my Dad.

 

Now I have a very good man,

He gives us all the love he can.

We've happiness and joy to spare,

And I know that he always cares.

     But I will always need my Dad.

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

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.

very touching; the girls are lucky to have a dad be there for them from the time they are born into adulthood and staying close. a very pretty song.

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.

I never had a close relationship with either parent and honestly didn't think much of it... but this makes me wish I had. Beautiful poem. :)
