Daddy

Daddy if yo could say just one thing, what would you say?
Would you say that you love me, or would you say that you’re
sorry? Would you tell me that I am your world? daddy, daddy,
daddy. Just one thing, just one thought. What would you say?

You left me with such quickness, I had no idea you were
even gone. you never said goodbye, you never kissed my cheek.
You showed me your sadness, then you were gone forever.

Daddy, if you could say just one thing. what would it be?
would you tell me that I”m beautiful? Would you tell me you’re
proud of who I’ve become? Would you say you’re sorry for leaving
me alone?

You never gave me a chance to tell you how I feel. You never
gave me the chance to share my world. Daddy, why did you
have to leave so soon? Daddy, I miss you, I need you.
here I find myself searching for strength.

Daddy, If I could say just one thing. This is what it would
be. Daddy, I’m sorry I was bitter. daddy, I have always loved
you. I wish you could see the person I’ve become. Daddy, tell
me that you’re proud, tell me that you love me.

Daddy, if you could say just one thing, what would
it be? Would you tell me that I”m worth it? Would you
tell me that I”m strong and that I can do anything?
would you tell me that you’re proud to be my father?

Daddy, I miss you. I wish you could come home. If I just
had one thing, it would be to bring you home with me.
Daddy, why did you leave? I’m slowly forgetting your
voice, I”m forgetting all I want to keep and remembering
all I want to forget. daddy, why did you have to leave?

I wish you could hear all I have to say. I wish you
were here to say that it will be okay.
Daddy, I know that you would be so proud of me.
Daddy I love you, I never meant to hurt you.

IF you could say just one thing, what would it be?

My name is Katy and I have been living in South Greenland since August 2011. I was born in Charleston, South Carolina, raised in Florida, and migrated to South Greenland through marriage. I am married to an amazing Greenlandic man living 60º N - about 670 km south of the Arctic Circle. I am a master gardener of 50 years. I started my love of ornamental gardening at the young age of 11. My paternal aunt gave me my first cutting and told me how to plant it. She also showed me some simple crochet stitches and sent me home with a cutting of coleus and a crochet hook with some yarn. At eleven it was like taking home a prize. Little did I know what would happen because of that. I learned how to sew my own clothing during my teenage years and that sewing has flowed over into me learning how to be a quilt maker. I love to take photographs of everything that catches my eye. I have thousands of photos. I am in love with icebergs. I don't think I will ever tire of seeing them and taking photos of them. The Greenland landscape is magnificent and it never disappoints. I also love to crochet as well as cook. I love making up my own recipes and serving them up to my "Heart Light" for test tasting. He is such a trooper. For the most part, he loves everything I've made. I'm a summer tourist guide and love it when fellow Americans come to visit us so that I can tell them about Greenland and most of the time I always tell our story since it's so special. I have 3 adult children and 4 grandchildren. I have grown to love Greenland as much as I love my home country USA. Greenland is like no other place and I will write lots about it and share photographs as well. I also love music and movies as well and I like to read. I will also be sharing blogs about quilt-making and other subjects that I'm involved with. View more posts

Kris has wrote quite a few poems over the years and some of them are quite good not to mention a little deep too. Thank you for your compliments too. I think they are beautiful too. 😛 It's so strange to see her as an adult with her own daughter to raise.
