Father Please

Daddy why don't you love me?

All I want to do is make you proud,

Daddy why don't you love me?

I swear I wish I was a better child,

Daddy why don't you love me?

After all these years, don't you miss me?

Daddy why don't you love me?

I've done great things,

Daddy why don't you love me?

You've left my mother and sibling, don't you have a heart?

Daddy why don't you love me?

With out you, who will chase the boys away?

Daddy why don't you love me?

I just wish you were here,

Daddy why don't you love me?

I've done great things, can't you see,

Daddy why don't you love me?

I've grown up with out you,

Daddy why don't you love me?

My brother has taught me all I know,

Daddy why don't you love me?
I'm the last of four, can you please speak to me?

Daddy why don't you love me?

I'm almost grown, I don't need you,

Daddy why don't you love me?

My whole life I didn't have you,

Daddy why don't you love me?

My mother is my father,

Daddy why don't you love me?

He always has loved me.

Although my father has never been in my life, I learn from it and better myself. Not having him in my life is part of my charistics. It has only made me stronger and appreciated my mom even more. the last couple sentences is to point out that I have always had a father and that was my mother.
