My Daddy

Daddy's love had a strong effect,
That did forever influence,
All of us just because His love,
Held that certain sweet ambience.

My Daddy's love lives on in my,
Heart, I lovingly reminisce,
His precious way of calling me,
Babydoll giving me a kiss.

I know you have noticed little,
Big men trying to be like their,
Daddies walking and talking like,
Them but with a much greater flair.

Little boys just want to be like,
Their Daddies and little girls look,
Up to them so much they often,
Marry right out of that same book.

My Daddy's love was the best love,
As far as we girls can relate,
For the love he gave all of us,
Reflected the ideal soul mate.

I remember Daddy quoting,
Scriptures all throughout my lifetime,
And always in disagreements,
Inspiring peace first, the sublime.

Telling stories would begin from,
Way back when and Daddy would go,
From the beginning to the end,
On and on to reach that plateau.

My Daddy lived a busy life,
Yet he was always filled with love,
For Mother and all four of us,
Yet first was the Father Above.

Just looking at My Daddy's old,
Time pocket watch which is antique,
So beautiful to me in my,
Eyes it says, My Daddy's unique.

Even the sweet old love letters,
To Mother during World War Two,
Speak of the kind of man he was,
Sweet and loving all the way through.

He was such a hard working man,
Loving with all his heart giving,
In a kind thoughtful way always,
Seeing to all needs while living.

Daddies live unconditional,
Love just like Mothers always do,
Too and it truly does make a,
Difference saying I love you.

Daddy's love had a strong effect,
That did forever influence,
All of us just because His love,
Held that certain sweet ambience.
