For the Best Dad...sorry.

Posted November 1st, 2009 by fallen_butterfly

Dear Dad,
I write 'cause I'm sad
lately I've been bad
I wonder if You're mad?

I wake up this morning
didn't get to kiss You...
I was busy thinking
"today,what is there to do?"

I finished my coffee
and run to the door
without saying a word
I hit the road...

Far and far, off I go
chasing the unseen
running from the unknown
the wheel is mine to steer, and so...

down the bend, and up the hill
I journeyed the world in my own will
dared to climb, dared to jump
dared to conquer whatever I want...

drive fast!!drive faster!!!
shouts my heart drunk with cheer
the world is mine...all mine
to reign over my world I won't decline...

I am happy, filled with glee
I have mine's own written destiny
to the fullest, i will live
that's what I believe...

but then, my dearest Daddy,
my car went to a halt
the dark is cloaking now the sky
and I just can't help but cry

I am still Your little girl
no matter how I deny
i still need Your hands to fill
the tiny gaps so young still...

take me home now my Father,
I'm just too tired to move
carry me now back to my room
and sing me your loving tune...

caress my hair and kiss my nose
whisper to me the stories old
embrace me Dad, I need your warmth
embrace me Dad, that's all I want...

tomorrow, soon enough will come
I'll wake up before the sun
I'll bend on my knees dear Daddy
and spend some time with you for coffee...
