Daddy, you will never show me
how to catch or throw a ball
Or tie my laces really tight

You'll never teach me ABC's
Or read to me, and tuck me in
You'll never kiss and make me laugh
With tickles from your spiky chin

You'll never watch me graduate
For my cap and gown I'll never see
And you'll never hold my babies
Like you never got to cuddle me...

You would have been the bestest Daddy
But I had gone before you knew
So instead of watching me, my Daddy
I'll be watching over you...
