Until We Meet Again. . .


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.
