Yesterday I heard you were coming home to see me
it has been so very long since last you were here
I sat and cried softly teardrops of happiness
I have missed you so much my child… so dear.
Always remembering the first day I saw you
the first day I held you and called you my own
now smiling at memories that we've shared together
waiting and hoping that soon you'll come home.
You have grown into a beautiful young woman
and being your father I am so proud of you
…not for your beauty, which comes from your mother
but simply because the things that you do.
Now my day is much brighter and clearer
and soon you'll be here as you have done before
then we can talk and catch up on all things…
as father and daughter together once more.
