| Sannel and her Dad |
Dad. . .
You taught me to be kind
cherish the joy of giving.
Care for each and everyone
not to hate, always be forgiving.
Dad. . .
You taught me to care
for people and animals alike.
Never steal, lie or cheat,
to be respectful and polite.
Dad. . .
You taught me to be strong
yet to be loving and sweet.
Be grateful for what I have,
give thanks for the food I eat
Dad. . .
You taught me the value of life
is not measured by my things,
but by the richness of giving,
the love and joy it me brings.
Dad. . .
You taught me to believe
have faith in my inner strength.
With hard work and creativity
I'll reach my dreams at any length.
Dad. . .
Thank you for your wisdom,
your patience and gentle love.
You gave me a strong foundation
a precious gift, I'll never let go of.
Dad. . .
Thank you for giving me life
holding my small hand in yours.
For all your hugs and kisses,
wiping away my painful tears.
Dad. . .
I'll always admire and look up to you
and love you dearly, as I did back then.
I'm blessed to have been your little girl,
I hope that one day, I'll see you again.
Dad. . .
The 19th of December, 2013
would have been your 90th birthday.
There are things that I'll always remember,
no matter how old I may grow.
Because. . .
As I look into the mirror
I catch a glimpse of you.
I see you in my blue eyes,
and in my bright smile too.
Until we meet again. . .
I miss being your daughter.
I love you, dad.
