Cosmic Payback


Haven't heard from my daughter
in many moons
But I don't interfere in none of that
My parents didn't interfere 
in my life
Looks to me like a cosmic payback

I refuse to spend my time
worrying about her
Because I raised her to be
independent that way
She has a self-sufficient nature,
she has a non-inclusive regard
Other people she don't depend on,
she'll do things her way, right or wrong

Haven't seen sight of my daughter
in many sun risings
But I don't interfere in none of that
I'm cashing in on all my labor,
I'm receiving a big cosmic paycheck

Ty, Rick for the kind words. I try to be versatile. That's my calling card, y'know. As for my daughter and your sister, man, these women are sure independent. They don't need guys like us. Ha ha ha. Holla back at ya soon. Love you bro. RW
