How do you sleep at night ?
that's if you make time for sleep,
Do you ever stay up thinking about me ?

Hey dad, its me
number 13
Your baby girl but not your last baby indeed

Hey dad, I'm about to be 17
Would you recognize me ?
Ill take the birthday wishes now since I know your schedules not clean

Hey dad, you're getting old man
always thought you had it but instead you've lost the chance
the chance to raise an infant into the beautiful piece I now am

I will admit, I would have never been this strong if you wouldn't have left so I thank you for the hard strong women you've planted and spread,

Hey dad, just know I'll still be your friend
I'm sorry your funeral I will not attend
but your soul won't take too much more time to say amends
this poem is for you, rest in peace my poor old man
