Father Dearest

When Life is good it is just.

Fiends and serenity and money make and moment or a night great.

Through my years here I have walked a brave walk,

I have become independent and strong and thankful and spiritual and intelligent.

I have molded learning experiences to be proud of.

I believe in Karma is stronger than revenge.

I believe following your heart you don't loose.

I know anger burns the holder of the coal

There are times I think about you.

Sometimes It is when I see the things that remind me of you, but there are times when its not even about you at all.

On the happiest nights at weddings when there is a bride dancing with her father,

Or on the saddest nights when a friend dies in my arms... or a boy breaks my heart.

When I have a bad day and want to talk about it,

When I'm victorious in public and you did not see it.

When I fall or get in trouble and I know you are not there to pick me up.

I'm not a little girl, I'm very grown up.

However when my eyes do shed tears it never seems to matter why I'm crying.

When I look in the mirror all I see is a little girl that wants her dad.

Each time I wipe the tears away, I grow stronger.

Until they fall again.
