Daddy's Girl

I remember those hugs and kisses since I was small,

The umpteen kicks and rolls with the ball,

You twirled me high up in the air,

Your every touch showing your love and care.

Then the phone call and you were gone,

No time for goodbye, at the crack of dawn,

Mommy cries while we wait for news,

Its scares to see the guns and bullets people use.

And I'm still waiting for you to come,

Life's each moment missed wanting to sum,

I will forever be my Daddy's little girl,

In my hand, the tricolor holding to unfurl.
