Sprinting in the rainfall, 
Here and there, 
The childish me I hid somewhere. 
Getting drenched as thunder rumbles, 
Living carelessly because 
I have someone to stable me when my foot fumbles.

Your hand in mine,
A lovely hold.
The bond we share 
Like pure gold.
You're my angel,
Your kindness as pure as a pearl.
You make me the happiest;
I always want to be your little girl.

When I'm feeling down,
You cheer me up.
You comfort me
When life gets tough.
With you, my anxiety disappears.
You calm my always running mind.
You make me smile when I'm in tears.

When others cares about my achievements,
You care about me.
You understand the things 
No one can see.
Even when I don't perform my best,
You say you're proud.
You makes me want to be a better person, 
Always cheering for me,
Clear and loud.

The interests we share
And all the fun times,
You're rare,
You're one of your own kind.
The wisdom you have,
The immense knowledge you hold,
The jokes you make 
That never gets old.

The gallery of yours,
Full of my candid pictures.
No one can match it;
My smile only your camera captures.

I'm so so so grateful 
For the love and support you show.
Even when sometimes I'm handful,
The selfless love and care you pour,
I couldn't ask for more.
Even though time moves in a whirl,
Papa, I always want to be your little girl.

With this life, Moving so fast,
With some trivial events,
While some vast,
I'll grow with time's twirl.
But still,
Papa I always want to be your little girl.
