Dear Daddy,
My Dearest daddy
When I was still tiny
I remember clearly
When you visit daily
Just to see mommy
Today, you shut the door suddenly.
It makes us all uneasy.
We all look at mommy
Scrubbing the sink furiously
It gives us all anxiety.
My Dearest daddy
Every day, you bring me candy
And told me stories so funny
That makes us laugh loudly.
You smiled and hugged me tightly.
Today, you shout at us so loudly
We looked at each other sadly.
You say bad words frequently.
Like it was nothing to you really
Mommy shuts her mouth tightly.
My dearest daddy
When you left us suddenly
And choose another company
Mommy drifts away slowly
You hurt us so badly.
You come back unexpectedly,
We welcome you excitedly
You had a second chance truly
Mommy had nothing but a penny
You provided for us just like any
My dearest daddy
Before, we had lived a life comfortably
Because of mommy's family
We are all satisfied and happy.
She was your number one priority.
Today, you tell us not to worry.
Now that you have money
You will provide for our family.
For you, everything will be easy.
But all you ever do is sit tightly.
My dearest daddy
Do you really love us truly?
And say's for us, you spend all your money...
Do you really have to talk to us arrogantly?
You put all the chores on mommy.
While you lock yourself in the room daily.
We always love you wholeheartedly,
We respect your authority.
Yet it makes us feel uncomfortable.
Your mood shifts very swiftly.
That every day, we could guess only
Which daddy would you be?
My dearest daddy
All I want is a complete loving family.
Not just a picture-perfect family
That you post daily.
Can we be normal just like any
Put your differences aside and be friendly.
After all, we both love you endlessly.
