My Only Daddy

Post by Katherine Graven » Sat Aug 18, 2007 10:20 am

<center>My Only Daddy
Dedicated to a very special man
David Hennion


You were my only Daddy
But I called you by your name
For I was your little shadow
And you were my shelter from the rain

I looked up to you with more pride
Than you could ever realize
No other man will ever stand taller
Within a lost little girl’s untrusting eyes

Because if it wasn’t for you
David
I would have never felt that I belonged
I have always loved you as my Daddy
This is something I think you need to know

So if you think you are not loved by me
You need not think such sadden things
Because when it comes to fatherly love
A loving vision of you is all I have ever seen

I do not take these words for granted
Because you have always meant the world to me
Even though I haven’t really showed you
Deep within my guarded heart

You are the only Daddy I have ever claimed

I Love You

Thank you... Moonflower,

A couple of weeks ago I found out the man who raised me was going in for surgery for cancer... He had surgery last week... Every thing for him come out great... He is recovering at home; and he has a clean bill of health now... But this poem is one that needed to be said... This time my thoughs, of how much this special man means to me, were not said to late...

We tend to take things for granted and so often we forget to tell people how they were and are a blessing our lives..
