To Daddy,

Memories....
of times you shared with me,
are lodged deeply in my mind.
Memories....
of the tenderness you showed to me
caress my soul to bliss.
Memories....
of the love you bestowed on me,
my heart can never forget.
For daddy dear you'll always be,
the most precious memory i keep.

You may not be here to guide me,
I may not see your tender smiles.
I may not hear your soothing voice,
Console me when i cry.
And when my heart is troubled,
You may not share the pain.
But daddy dear your mem'ries will remain,
My lasting cure for ills and pains.
And wherever you are I'm sure of this,
That you are happy and in peace.
And through each memory that you bring,
I'll cherish you to whom I cling.
