Creed Delvas Poet Rhyme

Don'T Forget Daddy

Don't forget Daddy..

I know that Daddy used to see you daily 
But it's only on occasion lately 
And "lately" starts to feel like "forever" 
Daddy thought things would have already been better
 Yet it seems as he begins to rise from the ashes
 Something happens & he just crashes
 Falling further than before 
But don't forget that Daddy is still climbing
Because you three girls are all he adores

I know our time together has grown far and few
 But he is always thinking of you 
Sometimes daddy doesn't always know what to do
But don't forget he'll always be there for you

I know daddy used to work hard to keep a roof over your head
 But now someone else has been instead 
I wish daddy could answer your when? & why's
Just don't forget that he still tries

I know daddy has no home and no bed
 He sleeps under an open sun roof because the battery is dead
 So tonight the rain falls in 
Ironically working as a disguise that hides
 The tears that insist on escaping his eyes
 Yeah I know daddy lied when he said he never cries
 But don't forget daddy holds himself together for you guys

I know daddy used to unite our family 
Now it feels he's torn it apart again single handedly
 But daddy still fights for that life 
And if for some reason we're not there before he dies
 Please don't forget that Daddy loves you
 More than words can describe
