DADDY...

Daddy...

peering at a photo...
long time passed...
little girl...
daddy
missing you...
face close to mine
still feel your warm breath
on my cheek
bedtime...
light scent of bath bubbles
mom reads a story
but its you I await
cuddle-time...
itchy robe...
curlers hurting
(mom loves curls)
you nestle my head
in the pillow
taking pain away
"close your eyes"
I do....
wish you were here still today
to nestle away
my pain...
