Daddy Poem by Linda Ori

Daddy, won't you brush my hair
And tie it up in bows,
Help me put my clothes on straight
And wipe my runny nose;
Daddy, won't you play with me
Or help me ride my bike,
Teach me how to count to ten
Or take me on a hike;
Daddy, I'm your favorite girl
Your precious little child,
An angel when I'm sleeping
And a devil when I'm wild;
Daddy, buy me pizza, please
And take me to the park -
Push me on the swings so high
And let me play 'til dark;
Daddy, there is nowhere else
That I would rather be
Than walking here beside you
Or sitting on your knee;
I hope you know I love you,
'Cause I'm your favorite squeeze -
Today I'll ask for bubble gum........
Tomorrow it's your keys!


(Dedicated to all those special dads out there from their daughters.)
