For My Father

I never got to know you

I never got to see

Whether I looked my mom

Or if ur looks u gave to me

Did you hear me say my first word?

Or see me learn to walk?

So many things I want to say

But I can't seem to talk

You missed a lot of birthdays

You missed my first straight A test

I wanted you to be here

When I couldn't be my best

I hated all this confusion

I didn't think you cared

But now I find out

That you've always been there

Deep inside my heart, there was a little hole

And I never felt it

Until I felt that bruise in my soul

So Daddy I want to know you

And I want to know you care

I want to hear you say you love Me

And that you will be there
