Smile Daddy (A Song I Made) Poem by amanda eckert

I was looking through old pictures late at night and it made me smile
It was me as a baby it made me think that its been so long, its been a while
daddy you looked so young and handsome and mommy was so beautiful too
You looked so proud to be a father, even as a baby I was stuck to you like glue
I was always A little daddy’s girl pulling at your heart strings ever since day one
Now I’m almost eighteen daddy can you believe it, you job to raise me is almost done
There is just one more favor I need you to do daddy before I leave this nest
can you smile one last time daddy like you did before you were stressed

Chorus

Please daddy smile once more daddy once more
I missed you being happy daddy like when I was four
You smiled all the time daddy did you know that now
I promise I’ll do anything daddy to see you smile this I vow
I found a picture of us dad I was a couple of months you held me tight
A smile on your face so true that I was no longer afraid of the night
Please tell me what to do daddy to see you happy I will do any chore
Please smile daddy once more daddy once more

A big day has come for me daddy as you walk me down the isle
But something is missing it seems, daddy where is your smile
I know you can’t stand to let me go daddy but please be brave
I love you so much daddy thank you for all the love you gave
Now hold back your tears daddy and let your baby girl go
I love you with all my heart daddy this for sure I know
I will always be your baby dad no matter how old I get
You’re the number one man in my life please don’t forget
Now on my wedding day daddy please smile for you and also for me
I want to see you happy daddy be the strong man you will always be

Chorus

Please daddy smile once more daddy once more
I missed you being happy daddy like when I was four
You smiled all the time daddy did you know that now
I promise I’ll do anything daddy to see you smile this I vow
I found a picture of us dad I was a couple of months you held me tight
A smile on your face so true that I was no longer afraid of the night
Please tell me what to do daddy to see you happy I will do any chore
Please smile daddy once more daddy once more

Daddy another moment that brought tears to my eyes
It a beautiful girl daddy don’t you hear her cries
From a dad to a grandpa your eyes show how proud you are
But smile daddy for your granddaughter smile like a shinning star
I may not be a good parent like you and mommy were for me
But I will do my best I’ll try real hard just wait and see
I’ll make you proud dad she will grow into a fighter like you
Thank you dad for your love which always shown bright and true
Forever and always daddy parenthood is a trial
Love is forever daddy show it with a smile
