My Dad Cared

I lay still 
at the bottom of the hill
waiting or you
to see what you do

you never show
I wish I could go
but I'm
hurt and alone
cold as a stone

dad where are you 
I try to yell
but I can't
it hurts like hell

where are you
when you're
needed
I've yelled, cried begged, and pleaded. 

A couple of hours later
you come across me
then you think to yourself
is she dead, alive
or asleep

you pick me up 
and take
me home
to the ranch
all alone

wake up
wake up
I don't budge

I wanted you 
here
earlier on

but no
 you were out of town
not in our state
gone

then you explained 
yourself to me
and at first I didn't believe
but thank you 
anyway fore saving me
I'll love for always
my caring daddy

This makes me think of my daddy. He died before I was born and I have felt many of these emotions in my life so I can totally empathize and sympathize with these words and I also get the feeling of being saved by my Heaveny Father as well. I relate in many ways. Very good. God Bless You. Keep your head up and keep writing. Good job :)
