I Miss You Daddy

It's been a year daddy

I really really miss you

Mommy says you're safe now

In a beautiful place called heaven

We had you favorite dinner tonight

And I ate it all up

Even though I don't like carrots

I learned how to swim this summer

And I can even open my eyes when I'm underwater

Can you see me?

I miss you daddy

It's been 5 years daddy

I'm in 5th grade now

I really like computers

But, math is hard

Mommy let's me sleep in one of your t-shirts

I think it still smells like you

I don't need to sleep with the light on anymore

I'm trying not to cry daddy

But it still hurts

I really miss you daddy

Can you see me?

It's been 10 years daddy

I've started high school

I made the honor roll

I hope you're proud of me

I'm also on the soccer team

Can you see me on the field?

I've started thinking about colleges

Do you think I can be a doctor?

I know you'll be there with me when I walk down the aisle

I try not to be sad

But it hurts

I hope you know you're my hero

I love you so much

Can you see me?

It's been 15 years daddy

I'm finishing college

I got into med school

I really want to help people

You've always inspired me

I met a nice guy

Who's really special to me

I think you would really like him

We talk about our life together

Mom says he's a lot like you

I think of you every day

I'm still sad

But you make me strong

Can you see me?

I miss you daddy

I really miss you daddy

I miss you daddy

I miss you daddy
