I remember looking out the window

Not knowing when you'd be home

Crying to myself

Couldn't wait for your return

That cologne scent every morning

Knowing it was you

That little girl, was me, missing you

The day you walked up the driveway

And through the front door

I saw that camo and combat boots

Seeing you once more

Running up to Daddy's arms

Welcoming embrace

I love you Daddy, dearly

For all you've done for me
