My First Valentine!!

I don’t remember when,

With you I first fell in love,

It must be when you hugged me

And thanked up above.

You showed me the world,

On your shoulders all around,

I felt so blessed and gay

With your love so abound.

I walked my first step,

And mumbled my first sound,

You held my tiny hands,

And saw me play around.

I slowly then grew up

And walked my path alone

You still stood with me

And never made it known.

I made poor mistakes,

And argued all along,

You taught me the lesson,

And kept it going strong.

I was the dream of your eye,

And the grin on your face,

The thought in your mind,

Bestowed with HIS grace.

I then fell in love,

With a man I never knew

I still held your hand,

And I always wish to.

You were the only man I knew

And the only man I loved.

I was your tiny daughter

And the woman so beloved.

I have now moved away,

Like a woman so grown,

I have paved my own road,

Through some mud and a stone.

Yes, I am so content

With all that I own,

Yet my lovely father,

For your caress I moan.

There is no man like you,

And no affection like yours,

Let’s toddle together again,

Through the sand and the shores.

I will always love you dad,

With all the strength and heart of mine,

I will always be your daughter,

Dad, you were and will always be, “MY FIRST VALENTINE”
