A Daughter’s Love
Reminder from a cool breeze
Changing colors of the leaves.
A bluebird stops to visit
Flying south for the winter.
Reminder of a changing time
Your life was on the line.
I held your hand and prayed
Hoping for one last day.
Reminder of October nine
Fast approaching one more time.
Daddy, I miss you so
I wished you didn’t have to go.
Reminder of a daughter’s love
Missing your loving hugs.
Memories are all I have
Daddy, I’m still sad.
