Hey, Daddy

By: Shayla Nastasi

Hey, Daddy,
I want you to know
I'm growing up,
And you have to let go.

Hey, Daddy,
I'm thirteen now,
Growing up fast.
Please don't show me how.

Hey, Daddy,
Mom's doing good.
I'm doing great in school,
Just like I should.

I love you, Daddy,
But don't get me wrong,
It's so hard,
And I never see you for long.

Hey, Daddy,
Please understand,
It seems I'm so far away,
But I still hold your hand.

Hey, Daddy,
I stopped playing with toys.
If you haven't noticed,
I'm really into boys.

Hey, Daddy,
I'm still growing,
And there's more for me to learn.
I promise I won't leave without you knowing.

I love you, Daddy,
More than the world.
I'll remember
I'm always your little girl.
