My Little Girl

Write me a poem dad, I don’t want any money

That’s my little girl, man is she so funny

But my little girl isn’t so little anymore

Now she’s a young lady, just listen to her roar

She gets a little sassy, sometimes a little loud 

Likes to get a little tipsy, makes her daddy proud?

Seems a little like her mom, and a whole lot like dad

She’s usually a good girl, but loves to be bad

She loves a good story, and loves a funny joke

She laughs and grunts loudly, and even sometimes chokes

She looks in a daze the joke she doesn’t get

Then she laughs like she’s crazy, when I haven’t told the punchline yet!


She has the biggest smile and the biggest heart

Looks at you real strange, whenever she’s gotta fart

She says odd things quite often I might add

I look at her strangely, she says “hey you’re my dad”

Yes she’s a little odd, but I think she’s unique

I’m always on the ready, whenever she starts to speak

She always makes me laugh, sometimes I wanna cry

But my little girl is the apple of my eye!


She moved to California outside of L.A.

I wondered what the hell? But who am I to say

Have to let her go and find her way

To live her own life, to live another day.


When I look at you, I see so very much of me

Your name may be Branden, but to me you’re a Lee

You’ve got many friends and family that loves you so

Who love to see you flourish, love to see you grow

I love to see you happy, I cry when you’re sad

I love your beautiful smile, don’t like to see you mad.


Sometimes I am mean, an asshole I might add

I hope you understand, I’m just a worried dad.

Jade you’re my girl, my one and only

Remember I’m always there whenever you get lonely

I love you more and more each day that passes by

I look at your pictures that make me wonder why

Why you are so special, forever my little girl

The reason I exist in this big crazy world.


Jade I must say, funny thing I might add

I hope you find love, with some lucky lad

Please read these words and remember what I say

Your daddy will Always Love You, Forever and a Day!
