Without A Dad



Beautiful child


All alone


Confidence, none


Self-esteem, gone


Self worth never known


 


Beautiful girl


Hazel green eyes


All alone


But still strong


Though not strong enough


To fight away the demons


that come to destroy you


in the form of man


 


 


 


Daddy, oh Daddy


She cries for you


You know


She needs your


shoulders to lean on


Someone to fight the big bad


wolves of her young world


 


Daddy, oh Daddy


She longs for you


Cries at night with


needing you


She needs a daddy


She needs your love


 


Beautiful woman


Beauty inside, and out


Kind and generous


A loving mother


so she's told


Still cries for her daddy


You know


 


Beautiful daughter


Who needs a father


But he doesn't know


She's been tossed about


Abused in so many ways


Cries out


Father where are you


 


Father, oh Father


You have another daughter


She's your first


Remember her?


Where have you been


She loves you still


 


Father, oh Father


Where have you been


She may be grown


But she has wounds


you've never known


Bruises in the heart that


a father is needed to mend


It's not to late to be her daddy


 


Father, Daughter


They look so alike


Unmistakeable resemblance


This daughter needs her father


For once, for always
