Dear Daddy

Dear Daddy,

If I could take it back or fix it

I would give everything I have

I stand in the window just looking

Through tears I just see your back

If you’d just tell me what you need

I’d pull a star from heaven for you

If I caused the crease in your brow

Come here Daddy I’ll rub that too

I promise I won’t be bad anymore

I’ll come home and do all my chores

I’ll play silently with all my toys Dad

Especially when I hear your snores

At least tell me you’ll think about me

You won’t let me grow up alone

Even if you can’t stay with Mamma

Promise I can come to your home

The streets are now my teacher

But my life span is getting short

I want to give you grand babies

Not have you find me in the morgue

I’m always your lil’ boy; your man man

They say real men don’t do two arm hugs

I need you to help me with my homework

Save me I don’t want to walk as thugs

No Sir, I’m not crying didn't shed a tear

But I save them for my pillow at night

I've missed you with me year after year

Come and get me Dad; we’ll start anew

To see your eyes filled with pride for me

Is always my gentle prayer to God for you

Still your son!!!
