For You Dad

[musicguy]

You taught me how to throw a ball,

we went outside to do bird calls,

and used to watch the deer next to the house.

 

You saw me struggle at birth,

my brush with death as a premmie baby,

my life hanging in the balance.

 

I ran into things,

I ate from the floor,

my face was a mess,

my hand barely reaching the door.

 

But as I grew older

we drifted apart.

You were always working,

and were sort of there.

 

Then my world fell around me

when you and mom split,

and my brother left too.

I thought everything was my fault.

 

Throughout those years,

even though you live 10 minutes away

we were still not that close.

 

So here I am now,

writing this here to you.

Trying to get back what we had in the past,

a love that will always last.

 

We have had our differences,

our fights,

but I still love you dad

and that will never change.
