Daddy

Daddy
I Love You So Much
For You Knew My Biggest Secret
For You Waited For Me
For You Didn't Tell Anybody
Daddy
I Thank You So Much
You Knew What Happened To Me
And Hate Him For What He Did
And Let Me Have My Distance
Daddy
How Did You Deal
Knowing That He Hurt Your Baby Girl
And Not Letting Me See
That You Knew Immediately
Daddy
Thank You For Waiting
For Being Here
For Saying It For Me
When I Found It Was Time To Tell [You]
Daddy 
I Love You So Much
Thank You For Following My Rules
And Letting Him Live
No Matter What He Did
Daddy
Thank You For Realizing 
That It Is My Choice
Not To Tell Anyone
Not To Do Anything
Daddy
Thank You For Knowing
That There's Nothing We Can Do
That It's Already Done
That That Is My PAST
Daddy
Thank You For Knowing
Before I Told You
Thank You For Waiting 
Daddy I Love You

Admittedly It's hard for me to place exactly what happened to your subject. I just heard NPR's coverage of Obama's speech at Notre Dame and this has a similar resonance for me as far as subject matter. Especially 'Letting him live' and 'That is my choice'. I can't say much more though since I'm already guessing pretty wildly. Glad your father understands you. -Yoni
