Fatherly Love

I look back and see...
Remember times spent crying on 
my knee
Your anger is my biggest fear,
Your words can bring me a tear.

As year started rushing by,
For you I'm no good though I try
You treated me just as bad,
And those times were so sad:-(

I grow up longing and seeking
For a fatherly love I'm lacking.
I search, hope to find someone
Who can love me just the way I 
am...

It's perhaps my biggest mistake
I just suffer pain and heartache!
My childishness caused me to 
stumble and fall...
But I've learned to carry on and 
stand tall!

And now I have my own family,
Living a simple life yet we're 
happy.
He's indeed a loving man, am so 
lucky
But still there's an emptiness 
inside of me...:-(

I wish I could bring back the days
To be a little girl to show you 
love in so many ways
Even if you didn't love me 
enough...
I promise to be here to make you 
laugh.

I regret for the times that flew,

I hope it's not too late to show...

I would never ask for anyone new.
Papa I love you and I do care for 
you...
