DADDY'S GIRL

DADDY'S GIRL

A Poem by mandy
"

i wrote this for my step daughters...my husband set it to chords and he plays guitar, and the two girls sing it and accompany him on guitar and mandolin. it pretty much describes their lives.

"

When I was just a little girl,

I played with dolls, and fixed my curls,

I rode my pony and climbed a tree,

Fell off my bike and scraped my knee,

     I needed my Dad to comfort me.

 

Time passed by and our life was fine,

no ones Dad was as nice as mine.

Then I entered my teenage years,

With all it's thrills and secret fears.

     Bet Mom and Dad cried a million tears.

 

I soon became a grown-up girl,

Moved through life in a crazy whirl.

I married young, then motherhood,

Had lots of friends in the neighborhood.

     I thought I had it really good.

 

Then I lost Mom and felt so sad,

Thank God that I still had my Dad.

In later years, I was all alone,

A single Mom, making a home.

     Boy, did I ever need my Dad.

 

Now I have a very good man,

He gives us all the love he can.

We've happiness and joy to spare,

And I know that he always cares.

     But I will always need my Dad.

I love this so much.
It is a lot like me & my life to start with, though I have not become a Mum or wife (ye) myself; but I too still need my Dad too!
And though I don't know the pain of losing my Mum (thankfully ~ huge hugs to you by the way!) and I can feel the pain that I might feel if that happened to me.
Amazing poem hun x

halfway in, I just paused and thought :D wow. I feel the strength behind this piece I have my dad. My mum and I are what you could call dead to each other though she lives. I love the last line "But I will always need my Dad."

it's such a touching piece. Everyone does need their dad, and this illustrates it so well. Well done.

What a beautiful message behind the words... You helped set the tone for this sweet song filled with the pain of loss and the joys of a father's presence.

thank you andrew,,,coming from you, that is high praise..this is my favorite work at this time.
I can't say that I relate to this. But I do like it and if I had not been among bastardy then I would very much loved this. I still think it is beautiful. This sounds to be a bit of a true story. Great job and write much more :)
