To my daddy, I’ll always be your little girl.
Love you forever and always
Sitting alone staring into space
But all I can see is a memory of your face
I still smell you when I put your t-shirts on
I wish you were here but sadly you’re gone
I’ll never forget you though I sometimes wish I could
You were there with me through everything, the sad, the bad, the good
I lie awake for hours staring at the ceiling
No one understands the vicious hurt I’m feeling
But you would have understood, you knew everything
Whenever I needed to talk you were the one I’d ring
You meant the world to me, you still do
And everything I achieve in life I do it thinking of you
For months after you left me I pretended not to feel a thing
But I felt so guilty if I was happy, smiling, even laughing
I feel you now watching me; it gives me warmth like a summer breeze
I know you’re in no pain now, and I’m glad you’re free
But I wish you could share your freedom with me
Life without you is driving me insane
So I’m forgetting you, forgetting the pain.

You may have thought I didn’t see,
Or that I hadn’t heard,
Life lessons that you taught to me,
But I got every word.

Perhaps you thought I missed it all,
And that we’d grown apart,
But Dad, I picked up everything,
It’s written on my heart.

Without you, Dad, I wouldn’t be
The (woman)(man) I am today;
You built a strong foundation
No one can take away.

I’ve grown up with your values,
And I’m very glad I did;
So here’s to you, dear father,
From your forever grateful kid.

Every day the whole year through,
I feel grateful you are my father.
Some fathers don’t have time for their kids,
But for you I’m never a bother.

You always make the effort to listen and share;
You’re always there when you’re needed.
It warms me to know how much you care,
And with that knowledge my worries are defeated.

Dad, you are truly admired and adored,
And as your daughter, I hope that you know,
These sentiments fill me each day of the year,
And my love for you continues to grow.

Happy Fathers Day!

Always There For Your Daughter

The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole, but true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows, and the beauty of a woman with passing years only grows!

There are some defeats more triumphant than victories.

After a while you learn the subtle difference
Between holding a hand and chaining a soul,

And you learn that love doesn’t mean leaning
And company doesn’t mean security,

And you begin to understand that kisses aren’t contracts
And presents aren’t promises.

And you begin to accept your defeats
With your head held high and your eyes open,

With the grace of a woman, not the grief of a child.
You learn to build your roads

On today because tomorrow’s ground
Is too uncertain for plans, and futures have

A way of falling down in midflight.
After a while you learn that even sunshine

Burns if you get too much.
So you plant your own garden and decorate

Your own soul, instead of waiting
For someone to bring you flowers.

And you learn that you can really endure,
That you really are strong

And you really do have worth
And you learn and learn … And you learn

With every goodbye you learn.

 
Veronica Shorffstall, 1971

I GAVE THEM DRINK,
I COMBED HER HAIR,
I RUBBED HIS HEAD,
GLAD THAT WHILE THEY WERE LIVING
 
I SHAVED HIS HEAD,
I POLISHED HER NAILS,
I MASSAGED HIS SHOULDERS
GLAD THAT WHILE THEY WERE LIVING
 
I TRIMMED HIS NAILS,
I SHOWERED AND BATHED HIM,
I FLUFFED THEIR PILLOWS,
I PROPPED THEM UP,
I SPOON-FED THEM.
GLAD THAT WHILE THEY WERE LIVING
 
CARDS AND CANDIES WERE LUXURIES.
FLOWERS WERE HEAVEN SENT.
I DID MY BEST TO MAKE THEM COMFORTABLE,
WHILE GLAD THAT THEY WERE YET LIVING.
I THANK YOU, GOD.

* A good woman is proud. She respects herself and others. She is aware of who she is. She neither seeks definition from the person she is with, nor does she expect them to read her mind. She is quite capable of articulating her needs.

* A good woman is hopeful. She is strong enough to make all her dreams come true. She knows love, therefore she gives love. She recognizes that her love has great value and must be reciprocated. If her love is taken for granted, it soon disappears.

* A good woman has a dash of inspiration and a dabble of endurance. She knows that she will at times have to inspire others to reach the potential God gave them.

* A good woman knows her past, understands her present and forces toward the future.

* A good woman knows God. She knows that with God the world is her playground, but without God she will just be played with.

* A good woman does not live in fear of the future because of her past. Instead, she understands that her life experiences are merely lessons meant to bring her closer to self-knowledge and unconditional self-love.
