Daddy's Little Angel

When the doctor first gave you in my hand

I was mesmerized by the serene look, the pink cheeks and the brown eyes

You made my heart melt with your first cry,

If I said I didn’t love you then I’d lie.

With you little feet you danced around the house,

And with sweet voice you would sing,

Daddy is home you would let the world know

I always wondered how would I ever let you go.

I got you your first cycle and taught you how to bat,

When I first took you to the movies you fell in love with the on-screen brat,

I got scared because you were growing up,

And until yesterday your hero had always been your dad.

When someone troubled you,

You’d say my dad is superman,

But now you give them black and blues

Whenever you can.

You turned into a beautiful girl,

An exact copy of your mother,

When I told you that, you’d get angry and say

“I look like you father”.

When you turned 18 and I got you your first car,

You drove away from me way to far,

I was worried when will you come back,

You always knew patience was one thing I always lacked.

We started to drift apart,

Oneday a new life you will start,

No matter how big you grow,

You will always remain

Daddy’s little Angel, Daddy’s little Girl!

Now the day has come when I am dying,

On the hospital bed I am lying,

Then I would see you cry,

With him by your side.

That is when I’d know that

you made the right choice,

because even an angel needs a guardian

and you found the right one.

A realization now kicks in, that daddy’s little girl has grown,

And now even has children of her own,

I can peacefully die now,

But remember one thing, I will always be watching my little girl from above!
