what a dad will do for his daughter :)

What a dad will do for his daughter

Is rock his sick baby girl

Until the sun peeks through the darkness

Letting him know the night of worry is over.

He will take her small hand in his

And walk slowly as she takes her first

Walk to the ice cream shop to

Share a cone full of heaven on earth.

He will sip from the tiny teacup

She has set infront of him

And in harmony with the stuffed

Animals carefully placed in their seats

He will sing the praises of her great hospitality.

He will sit through dance recitals

And fashion snows

Where he is the only one audience and will clap

With the enthusiasm of a thousand people.

He will take her fishing and play soccer

And intoduce her to the world outside

As if just exreriencing it for the first time himself

Perhaps he is.

He will sit with her through

Sweat and tears over homework

That was supposed to be turned in the day before

And he'll smile as the finish

Seeing her relief.

He will place a firm hand on the shoulder

Of the young man that comes

To take her to the school dance

Silently letting him know where

He stands and what he expects.

He will watch with overflowing

Pride as his young lady

Accepts her high school diploma and

Will silently Pray to God to calm his fears

And get him throughout the day.

He will be full of conversation

And more than happy to listen

When she calls home now and then

Even when the game of the year is on.

He will gently fold her arm aroung his

And with all the courage and faith he can hold onto

He will stroll down the aisle

Giving her hand keeping her youth.

He will be the first one in the maternity ward

At the nursery window

Carefully inspecting the activities

Of his new family member

Another part of her another part of him.

He will reassure her as time rages on

And the signs of his old age start to frighten her.

He will caress her hand with a passion

To which she has never felt

As she whispers his last wishes to her.

He will come to her heart for all her life

As she sees his manner in herself

Or his features in her children.

He will live in the smiles

That grace her face

As she remembers the things he did for he
