Take Care

Where the Hell have you been?
You've kept me up all night, worried sick.

It's dark, it’s late
No call, text, or page.

You drop me off and tell me to be safe.
But with no notice ur gone till the next day.

What if something happened to you?
Then what on earth would I do?

I know I'm supposed to outlive you.
But its just way too soon.

I'm still so young.
Your time can't be done.

But I'm worried and scared, not mad.
Please, take care of yourself dad.
