I miss those days when you actually cared.
When you had a million and one things to do, 
But you still made time for me.
When, even when I was the most horrible child, 
You still spoke to me.
Those days when I never cried, 
But I knew you'd be there if I did.

I miss those days, 
Because I knew you then. 

We didn't fight like cats and dogs.
We didn't catch an attitude with each other.
Not once did you ever raise your voice at me in anger.

I miss those days. 
They were happy.

And I know they are gone, 
That Daddy had used them for good,
That what He's doing now 
Will make us both stronger in the end.

But I still miss those days.
