Hey Dad, it’s me,
I hope you see
I’m really doing fine.
School is hard,
But I can make it far
as long as you look over me.
I do my best,
puff out my chest,
but I still hear your voice.
Sometimes it’s tough
Life gets so rough,
I just want you back.
You taught me how to swim up stream
How to stand, be seen
and to always love myself
and I don’t know if you heard:
but I do all so very well.
Make sure you visit your daughters,
You know we love them the best
Visit Danine’s Dreams,
Her potential will be unmatched
And they say I look like my father,
and I wish it was true.
God must’ve always knew
I would need you.
I pray every day,
From June through May
even if you can’t hear me.
I just want you to know,
I love you so,
even if the words can’t be.
I promised I’d try, every day
so I can’t delay,
but please forgive me…
I just couldn’t see
you not in your face.
Some days I wake and
cry free the waters,
because I know you won’t be
there to see me make you proud
and do so much for me.
Please know I’m real,
You know I can’t conceal
all the Truths in my face.
I’m sorry I couldn’t see your grave.
Betrayal at your side
I know you could hear at your bed
The moment I saw your eyes,
I knew you’d fight all your might,
but I couldn’t put you through
all the pain and bite
just so in case,
I could see your face.
The Guilt may take my soul,
but I’ll pay it whole.
Every price must be met.
As far as it’s me,
We’ll see,
The world will spin on more.
Just sweeten my sisters,
Your shadows must see,
Your glow in the eyes of
their loved men worthy.
Daddy, I love you so,
but I have to go
so receive these words as they stay.
And as I leave this phone,
And the agony dies
Just know,
I’ve learned how not to cry.
Omg im in tears. Lost of words.
