His Smell

Many a nights I sat next to him

Head on his chest

Arms tucked from within

His smell blends into my hair

With this I know you were there

I know all night, Daddy was there

 

Walking into my home

With a big smile in toe

A bear hug with which

You will soon unload

Your smell is now a part of me

A constant reminder of you, my Daddy

 

After a day or evening spent

Together is always such a joy

Talking, sharing, smiling

Always Daddy’s little girl or boy

The chair you sat in still holds it well

That particular sweet unique Father smell

 

One perfume doesn’t make the mix

Two colognes doesn’t do the trick

It is unique to only the one who makes

The recipe and placement of his special cakes

Softest of hands and hairs so sweet

My Daddy’s smell is the loveliest to me
