Every time that I smile,

Every time that I sigh,

I think of your face,

And a tear escapes my eye.



You were my world,

My inspiration and my heart,

But when you left me,

I thought I would fall apart.



You were my best friend,

My one true 'confidante',

And that's not all you were,

You were also my dad.



I didn't want to live without you,

But you would have wanted me to,

And if there's anyone I want to make happy,

That anyone is you



I would have given anything to have you back,

But I know now that it was meant to be,

For you are still watching from up there,

And I know you're watching me.



I'll make you proud dad,

I'm going to fulfill your wish,

You're going to see me and smile,

That's a daughter's promise.
