you
were the love of my life
you taught me
how to love
from the very start
you held my fingers
wrapped your hand around them
laid your head on my tiny shoulder
and hugged me close
to your chest
soothed me when i cried
scolded me when i lied
praised me when i tried
you were the love of my life
i will look for you
in everything
i will search for your face
in everyone i see
i will look for every part of you
in every part of me
i will hold close
every part of you
in every part of me
to be your daughter
is more than i could ever ask
i wish i could show you
but the time has passed
so i sit at your grave
with flowers and grief
tracing the name on your headstone
in disbelief
a father
is a daughter’s first love
and i loved you
i love you
i have always loved you
i will love you
in everything i do
i will look for you
in everything
always
forever
thank you for showing me
how to love.
