POEM: Daughter honors her dad

I'm trying to publish a poem in your paper, which would mean a lot to me. My dad is very sick; this is for him.

Why I Love You

I love you for many reasons big and small

all of them are wonderful

I love you for all those special qualities big and

small that make you a one of a kind

the only one in the

world for me

I love you for the things that you do that

bring such special meaning to my life

I love you for all the

silent times your eyes and arms tell me all I want to know

I love you just because I do

now the deepest part of my heart

a place where there was nothing before

there is now
