I’ll Remember You
I’ll remember the day you were born,
And I’ll remember the day I found you gone.
I’ll remember how excited you were for your first cheer,
And the day you put your first basketball in the air.
I’ll remember you cried when you got your first phone,
The day you became a mean teenager and didn’t come home.
I’ll remember how excited you were to get to high school,
Our first conversation about how all boys & men we be fools.
I’ll remember all our emotional, pointless, unnecessary fights,
Super daddy moments I’d hug you and say, “Everything will be all right.”
I’ll always remember the pride you took in your Webster name,
The day of your first speech & you knew you were destined for fame.
I’ll remember the love you had for all of your brothers,
The undying dedication & fight you had for your mother.
I’ll remember how we both wanted to save & change the world,
And the cockiness, advantages you took in being my only girl.
I’ll remember how you tried to make everyone in the world happy,
But most of all, I’ll miss and remember how you
started & finished every sentence with “My Daddy!”
