DADDY

Catina L Sherman 1975 (Florida)



From the moment I was born our bond formed strong,
It didn't matter that I was a redhead and a bit wild,
You'd say "I was born a brat and I'll die a brat" but in your eyes I could do no wrong,
I was your angel your mini me,your equal your crazy child.
When I grew up you became my hero,my everything, MY BEST FRIEND,
We drank together,hung out and told stories day after day,
Then one fateful day all that came to an end,
The otherside decided it needed you more and took you away.
My heart was broken ,my best friend was gone and there was nothing I could do,
It shattered my heart daddy Im not gonna lie,
The other deaths I went thru were nothing compared to you,
I couldn't eat, couldn't sleep my baby thought I might die.
BUT I heard your voice daddy,you told me to fight,
You said Mom needed me and I still had work to do,
I started eating again and got my body right,
Its been almost two years now and I really Miss you!
