daddy dearest

My friend, philosopher and guide,

you graduated the very day I arrived.

You were honored with a family degree,

and made proud, you have to agree.

You doted upon your darling angel,

who formed your love triangle.

I became you heart and soul,

you had scored a perfect goal!

The Apple of your eye, I am Nicotine

that gives you the ultimate high!

You’ve gifted me freedom and individuality,

taught me to eye life through reality.

A book of knowledge, my pillar of strength,

this lion’s heart has an emotional bend.

The one on whom I can unconditionally depend,

In your presence, I need no defense,

Only in you do I confide, as you trust my desires.

Holding me each time I fall,

Thanks to you, today I stand tall

Assuaging me when I am scared,

you encourage me to do and dare.

You sweep me off my feet,

make life an exotic treat!

Yet I too have my share of tiffs,

always accompanied by sniffs.

But soon tears are wiped with a kerchief,

cooling down all the heat. 

Daddy’s little girl, that’s what I am,

about the world I care a damn.

As you mean the world to me,

beyond which, I don’t want to see.

I know you are just mine, yet,

I fear losing you at times.

Gladly mom and you share an eternal bond,

which has made me emotionally strong.

I know you will always be there,

no matter how I fare. 

Sadly someday I will have to bid goodbye,

leave your hand and learn to fly.

Build a castle of my own and

surely not live in it alone.

Yet, Dad, no matter where I depart

you shall forever rule my heart!

I Love you lots and lots!
