Love Always, Your Daughter

When I needed you
You where there
Through laughter and tears
You remained strong for me
You always made things clear
Morning fishing trips
Late night drives
You taught me so much
From diapers to High School
I was but one life touched
But then far too soon
You were gone
The things I once knew
Would change all around me
I was lost without you
But then in my dreams
You were there
And for you, my father
I will remain strong
Love always, your daughter
-2003

*In loving memory of my father Michael Lee Smith September 20, 1952-January 25, 1997
