The Man towering over 6 feet tall
Skin smooth and black with a personality that made him loved by all
His size never scared me
After all he is my Daddy
Growing up I thought he was stronger than Super-Man & smarter than any man
Daddy’s Girl
I am not ashamed to admit it
I love and idolized my Daddy even when my Momma said I shouldn’t
I never noticed the drug use as a young girl all I knew was I was special I was my Daddy’s Girl
As I got older the fantasy of my father faded
I wanted guidance and love but the drugs had taken my Daddy away
Now let’s get one thin straight
I never doubted my Daddy loved me but….
I became ashamed, embarrassed my father was lost and I stayed away sometimes praying our paths would not cross
It hurt to stay away it hurt to be ashamed
I never thought things could or would ever change
Out of nowhere my Daddy is back
The hero from my childhood is here
Sober and on a righteous path
God has given my Father another chance
My Daddy
Standing tall and proud
We talk almost every day and I am overjoyed I am his child
The pride I feel cannot be explained He might think his years of absents and drug use has caused me pain
He may want to make up for all the pain
He may seek forgiveness because he believes his choices in life have left me scared
But he is wrong
I felt pain of course but it never lasted
I forgive him for anything almost immediately
The only thing I hold onto is my past feelings of shame
I was young and silly Now that I am grown I know
Drunk, high, jailed, or sober my Father loved his daughter & I was always my Daddy’s Girl
So don’t stress Daddy
Don’t worry yourself by thinking you need to make up for lost time
All a Daddy’s Girl needs is her Daddy’s company
A walk in the park
A fathers understanding
A shoulder to cry on
A listening ear
The comfort a girl has…
No matter her age
Knowing
My Daddy is Here
