Little Girl

By Lifesangel

Little girl, happy, smiling Sitting on your knee Playing games and having fun Those days I called you daddy. Your little girl began to grow Through teens I made you mad That was when I lost your love The days I named you dad. Missing through my adult years Now strange to one another I didn’t give you second thought You became an absent father. Then one day a sudden shock You phone me out of the blue Tell me that you’re at deaths door Like I should feel for you. Numb, like I have just been hit I don’t know what to do You come back after all these years Just to leave me very soon. To your face it’s ‘hello father’ For strong is how you see me But inside I’m crying as your little girl As I whisper ‘goodbye daddy’.

i wasnt really close to mine except when i was very young either. Very hard when he came to tell me he has cancer and a few weeks to live but I forgave him and we certainly had some very memorable special times in the short while we had left xxxxxx thankyou for your comment xxxxxx
