Our Bond Was Magical
I'm certain I felt it from the moment
I was laid gently into his arms
Our bond, it was simply magical
He won my heart over with his charm
Not a fluke at all but the real deal
He was perfect in every single way
At least, in my mind, that's how I see it
And in my mind, perfect he will stay
On the outside he was very handsome
For his little girl, he always had a smile
On the inside, he was loaded with integrity
Never was there a soul he would beguile
Everyone loved my father, it wasn't just me
Just tell me how lucky could one girl be?
The epitome of fairness and all that is good
If ever called upon to help someone, he would
He had such a cute little sense of humor
And oh how he'd see wonder in everything
The best thing, he instilled that wonder in me
For much of everything makes my heart sing
He was a good man and stood by my mother
A bit domineering yet she always meant well
When I look in a mirror, she stares back at me
I'm sensing a good mix of them both, I can tell
I lost my daddy back in nineteen eighty-four
I was way too young to have to let him go
Then when I lost mama too, in nineteen ninety
God must have had a purpose to call them home
Still, I can't tell you how much I miss them so
If ever I am feeling down and sorry for me
All I ever need to do is recall Dad's philosophy
'Happiness can be found in simple things!
Try watching a little squirrel run up a tree!'
He was a humble man, he loved his family
He had much wisdom and he'd share it gladly
If I can become just half the person he came to be
Perhaps I can help others with what he gave to me
To this day, when I lay my head down to sleep
I sometimes dream of him, how much he loved me so
I hope and pray he knows what he meant to me
One day I'll be with him again in Heaven's sweet glow
