Being A Daddy.. Poem by Rick Adriolo

From father to daughter, my girl of wich I'm so fond,
My heart is filled with love, even without nine months to bond..
When you were born you filled my heart with pride,
And I was overcome by the joy I felt inside..

I remember holding you in my arms that very first day,
I knew I would never let any harm come your way..
And as I often wonder what you will grow up to be,
Choose your own way for whatever you'll become it will be fine with me..

As I watch you sleep in the middle of the night,
I hope everything I do, I do alright..
For there is much pain in this world you were born,
You hardly fit in for you're a rose among thorns..

For now I must take each day at a time,
Some day you will grow up and move on just fine..
No matter how many years pass by,
My daughter is my angel she's the apple of my eye..

Daddies little girl you always will be,
You're the most wonderful thing to ever happen to me..
Not for all the riches in the world I would trade my pearl,
For you will always be daddies little girl!
