Daddy

Daddy Daddy, why did you go away? Don't you know I wanted you to stay! Daddy, when you left mom, Don't you know you left me too? Now all I do is cry and cry --- I want to die! Daddy, mommy say's it's better this way, What does she know! They're not enough band-aids to cover up the blues Mom's kisses can't heal this kind of pain. Daddy, I look around No one stands in your garage Daddy, You took every tool Except the hammer and sitting stool Daddy, I still miss you --- I love you. *** Dear Daddy, I'm all grown up now Haven't seen you since I was 10 Daddy, I sit on your favorite chair, No longer do I miss the way you caressed my hair. Daddy, I'm taking the old hammer and this BRAND NEW saw, It's time to patch all the holes mom punched in the wall *The day you walked out on us* Daddy, don't worry about the times I tripped and fell Mom found someone to fix the loose boards, Got tired of scraping my knees Daddy, I finally realized I'm okay, I agree with mom, it's better this way. by- Not every dad is great (but step-dad YES!)
