Dear Daddy...
Hi dad... just want to tell you...
that you're loved.. so very much...
and dad.. we got something special...
that no one else can touch...
I love you dad.. with all my heart...
I know you love me too...
You know.. you can depend on me...
and dad... I depend on you.
All the miles.. across the world..
could never tare apart...
the love we hold.. inside of us...
deep down within our hearts...
so.. if ever there's a time you feel...
that you're alone and blue...
just look there.. within your heart...
you'll find me there.. with you...
Reach in your heart.. and bring me out...
with all the memories.. we shared...
the times we laughed... you'll see my smile...
just hold those thoughts.. right there
and no matter how hard it gets in life...
please hang in there.. for me...
You are the hero.. of my life..
and you will always be.
Oh, and Dad,.. when ever I'm down... or sad..
or just plain missing you...
I'll look down.. inside my heart...
cause you'll be right there too..
and.. I'll reach down.. and bring you out..
and all the memories.. we shared...
the times we laughed... I 'll see you smile...
and I'll hold those thoughts.. right there...
and no matter how hard it gets in life...
I'll hang in there.. for you...
cause.. I'm the hero of your life..
and we both know.. that's true...
and dad.. before we know it...
these bad times.. will all be past...
and we will be together again...
for you'll be.. back home.. at last.
From your son
Reason for writing:
I was asked to write a poem for a little boy whose father was
going away to prison. He wants to give it to his daddy to take
to prison with him. I hope this dad will read this often and
remember he has a precious child waiting for him when he
returns home... and that he is deeply loved. This is the
poem.
