A  DAUGHTERS CRY

DAD, SINCE THE DAY, THAT I WAS BORN,
YOUR LOVE FOR ME, JUST GREW AND GREW,
I HAVE ALWAYS, LOVED YOU DAD,
WITH A LOVE FOR YOU, THAT IS TRUE.
WHEN I WAS SMALL, I REMEMBER,
HOW YOU HELD ME, CLOSE IN YOUR ARMS.
YOU'D ALWAYS, BE THERE FOR ME,
TO PROTECT ME, FROM ANY, AND ALL, HARM.
NOW YOUR ADDICTIONS,
HAVE TAKEN YOU FROM ME,
THESE THINGS, YOU HARDLY DO ANYMORE,
YOUR NEVER, REALLY THERE FOR ME,
AS YOU ONCE WAS, LONG AGO, BEFORE.
I KNOW, IT IS NOT BECAUSE,
YOU LOVE ME LESS,
THAT THESE THINGS,
FOR YOU HAVE CHANGED,
IT IS BECAUSE, OF YOUR ADDICTIONS,
IN YOUR LIFE, THAT HAS BEEN, REARRANGED.
I WANT TO SAY, DAD, THAT I WANT YOU BACK,
BEFORE, YOUR HERE NO MORE,
I KNOW IN MY HEART, IT WILL HAPPEN,
BECAUSE, IT ALMOST DID BEFORE.
FOR YOU DADDY, I ALWAYS PRAY,
AND ASK GOD, FOR HIS HEALING TOUCH,
AND THAT, YOU'LL GET HELP,
BEFORE I LOOSE YOU,
BECAUSE, DADDY, I LOVE YOU, SO MUCH.
