Wish I could have been a Daddy's girl...

poetry picture

Do you see me Daddy; I’m a tea pot… short and stout
Look daddy, No hands
I painted this picture for you, It’s a flower…It’s me.

Sad story is I never got to tell you these tales; for it was all just a fairy tale
Instead my petals have fallen, wilted and discolored

I prayed to you god, begging and pleading, don’t take my Daddy away
Unlock the hand cuffs, and let him go
Something a little girl should never have to do, wishing for her Daddy’s fight to be done, for him to be alright.

The days have past; the years have gone by, scared and worried here
Laid my head down and cried, tears flowing down my young childish face
Weeping the night away

Where were you when I needed you the most, father daughter dance … I stood alone
No little girl should ever shed those kinds of tears, throughout her childhood years
Daddy I scrapped me knee, hush child have no fear…I never heard that in my ear
Wish you were still here.

What have I done so wrong, why wasn’t my Daddy strong?
As I kneel down and prayed, please God… forgive my Daddy, it wasn’t his fault.
The devil made him do it all.
Hopefully God, you took him to your house
Because I didn’t pray for me…I prayed for my Daddy’s soul.
I wish I could have been a Daddy’s girl

This is an emotional piece.

This is an emotional piece. Your delivery of a daughter's pain and yearning for her father's presence, time and love is well done. Keep up the good work!
