Father Over the Phone

I have little memories of you as a child Of course, the memories are being formed now Mama never held onto a job, I'm sorry You pledged to help each other but she forgot the vow You were always working when I was little I loved hearing your voice when I was feeling alone You were basically my best friend You were basically my father over the phone You will never know I wrote this because Well, you're too damn protective But you're just trying to keep me From online stalkers playing detective I have gone through heartbreak Because of those close to me But you're rare bear hugs Made me not fear and flee I wish Mama had helped you more But I know this is now a better home Now I can see you every day You're no longer my father over the phone Dedicated to my amazing, hard-working father.
