• My daddy is the best part of my life
    His smile glows like tiny Christmas lights
    His laughter sweet, it jingles through my strife
    Like bells with beauty matching godly might

    His hands, their touch like petals in the spring
    Glide over me, creating an embrace
    I laugh at him; his bells they start to ring
    But quietly, as if there is a trace

    Of sadness lying, hiding in despair
    I slowly slip from Daddy's loving arms
    He's gone from me like he was never there
    He's off to fight a war; to come to harm

    My daddy dear, forever may I hold
    Some love from you; your bells they turn to gold.
