Where Were You Father?

Where were you when I called? when I searched all over for your love? for your kind protection and your words? for a father's hand to hold? Where were you when I was alone? when I didn't understand the world? when I needed help to not to fall? cuz the holes were too big to jump on my own? Where were you when I prayed on my knees? for a man who could come and be there for me so I could finally be a girl beautiful and sweet and not an easy prey walking on the streets? Where were you father? why you didn't fill up my needs? Jessica
