To my Daughter Melissa

I know we dont always, see eye to eye
I know, your not sure why
later in life, what you will find 
it is your best interest, I have in mind
I always think of you, first and last
I understand, the pains of your past
the disappointments, of your mother lost
the hurts of growing up, what a cost 
I am always there, when you need me to be
to hold you up, and set you free
I will always give, to you my best
my shoulder is yours, for your head to rest
tender heart, with ears to hear
are never far, always near
the moment you were born, I saw your face
no one on earth, could take your place 
you placed, your tinny hand in mine
a better feeling, I shall never find 
hard at work, under the car
your sweet smiling face, never far
no matter what it was, that I did
we were together, me and my kid
you are my light, in the dark
if life gets dull, you give me spark
you are beautiful, and smart 
with a kind loving heart
a fathers joy, a fathers love
sent to him, from God above
 you are my pride, each and every day
my love for you ,words can not say
