This father lost his way.
Along the journey
he forgot where he came from,
where he’s been,
where he’s going.

This father makes mistakes,
knows not which way to go,
which direction is home.
As he sits and wonders,
will his daughter ever know.

This father makes mistakes.
Alone in his thoughts,
and with his fears,
alone in his wake…
This father awaits
his daughter’s call
Reminiscence…the past
when all was fun,
and we were young.
This father loves his daughter.
And needs her love in turn.

This father makes mistakes,
and forgets when he was young

This father makes mistakes
and should say he’s sorry,
more than not..
You mean everything to me
and my life’s a void
when you’re away.

This father makes mistakes.
But the one mistake
he never made,
was the one
in having you.

Love: Dad
