DADDY
Daddy, my sweet daddy, I love you so dear. You raised me from a baby and stored values in my life,
That's one reason I'm still here.
Daddy, my sweet daddy, so precious, so strong. Your love will stay forever, even until the day that I'm gone.
Daddy, my sweet daddy, yesterday I wished that you were still here. How selfish is that, but today my heart says, well done daddy, rest in
peace. I will be strong and move on.
Daddy, my sweet daddy.
Love Always, Your Grand-daughter Kim
