Dear Daddy

© Kandice R. Graves (11 Years Old)

I need you now.

Please take me by the hand.

Stand by my hour of need,

take time to understand.

Take my hand, dear daddy 

and lead me from this place.

Chase away my doubts and fears 

and wipe away my tears.

Dear daddy, I cannot stand alone.

I need your hand to hold.

The warmth of your gentle touch,

in my world that’s grown so cold.

Please be a daddy to me 

and hold me day by day,

because with your loving hand in mine 

I know we'll find a way
