Daddy’s Girl
M.E. Martin


My hero is as alive to me as he was lying in his hospital bed
Speaking words of wisdom as if he knew
His time on this earth was coming to an end
And he needed to teach me a just few more things

He wanted me to beware of foes dressed
In the clothes of friends and words
Spoken that would put in end to dreams
Masked in tones of loving advice

He talked of me perhaps being a princess
That had somehow gotten mixed in with the common folk
But someday the royal blood flowing through my veins
Would let everyone know I am indeed a king’s kid

He wanted me to understand why men say the things they say
And do the things they do so I could beware of the traps
Girls like me fall into believing words spoken in
The dark of night and in the heat of the moment

He let me cry on his shoulder when my heart got bruised
For the first time and he helped me heal with these simple words
“You’re going to be alright” those words were worth more then gold
They proved that my daddy was smartest man in the world

My hero’s voice still speaks to me in dreams and memories
Telling me to keep my head up and don’t stop dreaming
Reminding me that I am a “Daddy’s Girl” the daughter of a
King that had somehow gotten mixed in with the common folk…

Nice!
