Never There

You weren't there when I took my first step, You weren't there to catch me when I would fall, You weren't there when I said my first word, You weren't there when I lost my first tooth, You weren't there to watch me grow up, You weren't there to say how proud of me you were, You weren't there to celebrate my birthdays, You weren't there to tuck me in at night, You weren't there when I would have a bad dream, You weren't there to teach me to play games, You weren't there on my graduation day, You weren't there just to make me laugh, You weren't there when I needed you the most, But I had someone there to give me a boost, And that's all that counts
