Words For My Father.

I love you Dad, I always have
And I know that now you love me too
But it hasn’t always been that way
As a child I used to say……..

Mummy, why doesn’t my daddy love me?

Many a time I search for your arms
Some sign of love
That could be all mine

I know we where five
But you where so big:
You should’ve had enough love
For all of us kids

You where always there 
And you provided our needs
But I never did think
That you ever loved me

As the years wore on
And I grew up
I’d watch you go round
And wished for you Dad

But you where always so busy
With this thing and that
You where building your kingdom
And said it’s for us.

I loved the nice houses
And living near the beach
But the thing I most wanted
Was out of my reach.

So many times Dad, you’ll never know
I hated your money as you watched it grow.
I wanted a father to love and to hold
The money was nothing – I wished it would go.

The many times I wished you poor
I used to think that you’d love me more
I used to think
That if we lived in a tent
There would be more time
For Love, cuddles and things.

And now you’re much older
And I am too
And I found that love
That I wanted from you

But oh Dad, all the lost years
Where did they all go?
I still hold the scars
Of our lost love long ago
