Daddy's poem made by sintija12
Her hair was up in a pony tail,
her favorite dress tied with a bow.
Today was Daddy's Day at school,
and she couldn't wait to go.
But her mommy tried to tell her,
that she probably should stay home.
Why the kids might not understand,

because he lives so far away.
But I know he wishes he could be,
since this is such a special day.

I wanted you to know.
All about my daddy,
and how much he loves me so.
