I LOVE YOU DADDY
When my father died
I was just a little girl
I was twelve years old
and in a great world
He is closer to me
than ever before
but my tears are pouring
even more and more
He was a great father to me
and he always will
He worked his hardest
and became ill
He fought and he fought
‘til he collapsed
then it was time
for him to pass
He is watching over us
and wondering why
He doesn’t want to see us
in pain and crying
I wish he was alive so
I could give him a hug
I tug and I tug and
I tug and I tug
I would hang on to him
as long as I could
Or at least hang on to him
as long as I should
I’d tell him I love him
and don’t want to leave
I’d tell him I’d make him proud
and that I would follow my dreams.
There’s a place in my heart
where he can stay
never be apart
or never away
I see him
in my eyes and mind
but when I see him in my heart
He is always behind
and when I turn my head
and he’s there
I turn my head again
and he is everywhere
Now I know he’s
in a good place
running and jumping joyfully
in his own space
So I just want to tell him
I love you Daddy
I’ll try to tell him
happy and gladly
I know he’s in heaven
in his own little world
and I know he’s watching
his little girl
So I bring this poem to an end
for you will all see
I miss my Daddy with all my heart
and you know I love my Daddy
Love your baby girl,
Helen Tang
