The gentle  breeze upon your cheek 
That is a kiss  I give you to send you to sleep
Right by your side that's where you find me
Holding your hand till you fall asleep 
In your dreams I will talk to you I will tell you how I feel
how much I love you how much you mean
You can tell me your troubles I will see what I can do 
Dont worry child We will pull together we will muddle through 
So don't be afraid of the life you see or the steps ahead for you always  have me
The days are hard tough and sometimes long
And Missing me its a journey I know you thought you would never be on 
Though you can't see me you must know im there
the tug on your skirt the pull on your hair
Id never leave  children of mine 
I will look after  you all  till the end of time
I will dry your tears kiss your tear stained cheeks arms around you when you weep
I will be there for the laughter and  good times  to
So talk to me often like you always did 
as constant reminders I will continue to give 
And when you really need it you will hear my voice very clearly in your ear saying 
Never doubt never fear im your daddy im always here x
