Dad, why did you leave me when I needed you so much.
I tried to reach out to you for that loving touch.
I have realized now that I'm no daddy's princess.
When I was younger, I actually felt much less.
I understand now that it wasn't meant to be,
Now my life is better, I have an extended family.
I always wanted a sister, and you have given me two,
So I will give you credit where credit is due.
I realize now I wasn't the reason for you leaving.
The time has passed now, and it's done the healing.
You may look back and regret the time that's passed.
You need to build a relationship, one that's going to last.
I don't want you growing old not knowing me.
Dad, you are part of my life, you're my family.
