Love of Convience
I've waited two weeks for my daddy to seeme, his son.
Finally the day is here filled with promises of fun.
A smile plastered upon my face my daddy's finally here.
But soon that bright smile is replaced by a single tear.
"Not this time son" says my daddy as he walks right out the door.
Leaving me confused, furious, and sad oh so very tore.
But daddy don't you worry, I'll hold no grudge against you.
I don't see you enough to stay mad or even to feel blue.
I want only smiles and laughter to fill our entire day
For that, I will suck up every tear and hold all angry words at bay.
For if I ever expressed to you how upset I am deep down.
You may never see me again just stay to your side of town.
So a painted face of happiness, for you dad is all I shall present.
I just hope you don't give me too many more incidents I will live to resent.
