My Father

My father who loves me so, like the roots of a tree you help me stand tall. Like a big warm cuddly bear you are strong and keep me safe from harm. I'm no longer the little girl who was scared of the dark, but now a young women who gives you bear hugs every day. You would always fix the things that broke and read me a book with a funny voice. Every day you work to make sure that I can grow up happy and so you can support me in the future. Soon I won't always need you to help me fix something or squish a scary spider. But I know you are always there for me, always there to catch me when I am falling. Me who is your little girl, your little princess soon to be queen. Will always be your daughter, a daughter of a king.
