DADDY WILL NEVER FORGET

To my baby girl,
I wrote this thinking of you,
The day mama told me she was pregnant with you
Baby I was scared didn't know what to do
I was broke with nothing but your Mama
Mama was the strongest one, she told me it will be ok
Baby that's when I had to man up

I still recall the day I you came in this world
Mama was in pain but deep with joy
Daddy was overwhelmed all I could do was shed tears
A bundle of joy came into this world
Woke grand ma at 3 am in the morning Everybody knew you were born
That's how proud I was of you

Your first smile melted my heart
That doesn't compare to the day you said Baba for the first time
Mama was so pissed it wasn't her
That was the first day we made a pact
It was you and me against the world baby

Fast forward and I am in a suit and you in them blue and white checked dress
You looked so cute in them checkers
I dropped you at school and I couldn't help but shed a tear My little girl is growing up so fast

Couple of years later we seating at your graduation ceremony
My angel is in a graduation gown
I was so proud yet so scared
You ran towards me, I flashed back to the day I picked you up from pre- school first day
But today you in a gown not in them blue and white checked dress
Today you had a degree in your hands not a backpack on your back
My Baby is graduating college

Today Here I am in this church
Ready to take you down the Isle
Can't help but bust into loud cry
My baby girl don't need me no more
She's gonna leave me today.
All you did was take a handkerchief from my jacket pocket
Wiped my tears and say 'Daddy I will always be your little girl'
That's made me the happiest guy in the world

Down the Isle we walk
All I could think of is how like your Mama you turned out to be
I counted my blessings as I stopped to let you go
For you were my angel now had to let you fly

When the preacher asked
"Who gives this lady's hand in marriage?"
With pride, joy and love I responded
I do.
My angel got wings now let me let her fly.
Daddy will always love you Hun.

Dedicated to my little angel above Baby ZJ who never grew up to see her second month. Wrote this thinking of you and how you would have grown up to be (the picture I had in my head)
Too bad you never made it, but wherever you are just know Daddy loves you and he will never forget
