Leigh Nickolyn Poet I do not know?

The Father I Want

The father I want

This man
Has never been in my life,
Or ever spoken to me
Because he doesn't love me.

Fourteen long years
Have passed by,
Not a word or a letter
Has come from him,
So many tears shed
Yet he will never call me his daughter.

Father
Just call me daughter,
Say you love me
And hug me,
Stand by my door 
And tell me goodnight,
Hold me when 
I start to cry.

Teach me
All you know,
Don't let a boy
Play with my heart,
Tell me everything will be alright
When it's not.

But these are all dreams,
You have a life
Without me,
I understand...
Father.
