| Kristyn Kajko Dear DadEveryday I am grateful,
 
 To have you as my father.
 
 Though you are busy, time is made for me,
 
 And I know I am not a bother.
 
 
 
 
 Growing up, preserving my happiness,
 
 And wiping my tears.
 
 Was a job you fulfilled,
 
 As you took away my fears.
 
 
 
 
 Playing games and reading me books,
 
 Was always important to you.
 
 And now that I’ve matured,
 
 I realize it was to me too.
 
 
 
 
 With my ignorance vanished,
 
 I now must confess
 
 That “Daddy’s Little Girl”
 
 Is a title I am proud to possess.
