Daddy's Little Girl Poem by Talisa Dee Whitmore

I've always wanted to be Daddy's little girl
but I've never been able to
My dad has always been gone
He would be here if he could
but he can't

He died in a truck
of a heart attack
when I was only 7 months old

I've always wanted to make him proud
I hope that if he's watching, he's happy
I hope I'm good enough for him
I hope I've succeeded enough for him

My mom and me aren't close
I don't tell her much
but I would be able to with my dad

I've always wanted to be Daddy's little girl but I've never been able to
