FORGIVE ME DADDY...

When I was just a little girl,

My daddy said to me,

"Child you are and always will be everything to me",

Back then I would just giggle and go about my day,

Not knowing as a woman,

Those words would keep me sane...

I was still a child when my daddy passed away,

I guess in my mind I thought he would always stay,

Years went by and I missed him so,

My heart was filled with lead,

The only man that loved me,

He was dead,

Time passed by and life began to take it's toll,

I met a man that said my daddy's words and all...

He too passed away and left me,

I shouted with regret,

"Daddy!! Just like you he loved me!! And he left!!",

Looking back I realise,

I was so wrong,

My daddy would have stayed,

If he had any choice,

It's been so long...

Daddy I now realise the price you had to pay,

And I know now if you could,

You would surely stay,

I'm sorry I was angry,

Daddy I am sorry that I screamed at you,

I know now undoubtedly,

No one can love me the way my daddy used to do.
