Daddy's Girl
Only a father could light up her face
only a father could bring her joy.
Tired as he was, as he plodded to the door
courage stern within.
Not old enough to do better
not old enough to stifle her cries
the day she woke up
and never to see him ever again.
She wept as if the sunless clouds
looked endless and cold
never knew she'd wet her hankies for him
desired story unsought.
Wished a star appeared tonight
from where she sat in his musk-scented corner
she knew he's watching her
she knew she will always be her daddy's girl.
