Dear Daddy

Dear Daddy, Where were you All my life Since I was young When I turned 10? My first year of Double digits How about my first year Of High School My Sweet 16? Where were you then Now...all of the sudden I am a Senior 17 years old And you want to be a part in it? You can't even remember my birthday You can't spell my sister's name right... What type of father is that? Not a very good one... Why is it that... You now what to be a part of me Because I'm an adult? Do you want control now... Because I can take care of myself And you don't have to??? Why didn't you care before You say you've changed But your still the same What happened to the 2 birthday cards you promised? I still haven't gotten them. I just want to let you know... This may be hard to hear but you need to hear it... I don't know... If you should come to my graduation My marriage..when I find a man who wants to marry me. I don't think I should invite a man Who wasn't a father to me Thinking he has changed. I don't think that you have changed.... If you have... You've never proven it? I am still waiting for proof... I have'nt even gotten a birthday card... Everytime you call... You have to ask how old I am... And what grade I'm in... Sorry but that's not a father... That's not someone who I want to call... Daddy... I'm Sorry. Your Daughter, Brittany
