A poem for Dad

The first man I ever kissed
The first man I held hands with
The only man who ever walked me home
Who sat with me when I was feeling alone

The first man I gave my heart to
The first man I would run to
The first man I would swear by
The man who gave me something to live by

The first man who patiently
Step by step, taught me
Every skill I’d ever need
To let me live life happily

The first man who held me when I cried
You set the standard for my taste in guys
You answered all my “what’s” and “why’s”
Strengthening our “father-daughter” ties

I know someday I’ll find another guy
Who’ll answer my prayers, and on whose shoulder I’ll cry
But one thing I know with everything I’m made of
My daddy will always be my very first love
I love you dad!
