For Kayla...

My friend shared this beautiful poem with me that he wrote for his lovely daughter...

I thought there might be a few lil things you art to know

The love I have for you will always grow

Everyday you are in my thoughts

Everyday you should think on the things I taught

Somedays will be harder than others

Some nights will last forever

The love a father has for his daughter

The times he is not with her

And the days he does not kiss her

All the days that were

Now he sees her grow

And soon he will see her go

Away to be with someone else

He will be alone, left to himself

But all the times they had

Thinking of those days will make him sad

Now into a new world she steps

To make her mark on the world she must

The things he taught now he must trust

But still his love for her continues to grow

Even though she does not know.
