The Father of Love Looks After Me Just Fine and Dandy
You’re so hard on me
You don’t see the good that I have done
You’re ashamed of me, I see
And you don’t acknowledge that I’m your son
Maybe, tomorrow, you’ll see me in another light
And apologize for making me feel less than alright
You’re overrighteous attitude
Is rather selfish and rude
I love you still, father, though you hurt me
Emotionally, mentally and psychologically
You said I’m nothing but trouble…possibly…
You don’t see anything good inside me
But, I look up, way up above
And see the Father of love —
He gets rid of the father of lies
He hello’s my goodbyes…
The Father of love looks after me
Fine and dandy, fine and dandy
Do me a favor and be more like Him perhaps
Maybe I’ll respect you more…and do less mishaps
And have less relapses and less distresses
Maybe I’ll figure a way out of this mess we’re in
I love you, dad, but you made me feel sadness
It makes me mad and sad that I’m a finless dolphin
In the sea of lost love —
That’s where I rove…
Dad, I think you have amazing discernment, super intellectual and significant
You care so much for my family and I should respect you a lot more than I can fathom
But, remember, I’m God’s son too and I’m not self-centered, foolish and ignorant
You share so much with us all and I appreciate all you do sincerely — you must be awaiting God’s Kingdom
Like me…
I see…
Father, oh fearless father…
You’re unlike any other — much like my marvelous mother
Even though we have our struggles and our weaknesses and flaws and regrets
We need to forgive each other of our heartless actions and sins — I’m no longer upset and piled up with emotional debts
