I remember it like it was yesterday
I stood at my window and watched you drive away
I tried to make it to the door I tried to tell u I love u more
But you were to caught up in your work to notice that your daughter needed you
Where were you all those nights I was alone
No one was home
No one would answer the phone
No one would tell me why
What did I do wrong
Why don’t u care
Its so wrong it isn’t fair
My friends had parents that showed up to their games
Im lucky if u remembered my name
But u and I are not the same
My daughter will never experience that pain
That pain that makes u insane
Even threw all the things uve done
Ur not like any other one
Even threw the nights of all the fights an all the cold creeping into my heart
I still love u
Why u say
Because your my dad an I love u n each an every way.

:'( that makes me wanna call up my father, thank you this truely is touching :). keep up the good work I hope to see more of these from you!

Thats very touching, Very good.

Very touching and heartfelt,I can somewhat relate as boys did not have therew dad either

just wanted to bump this I think she has a gift

I know exactly how you feel, my father was the same way, but he is still my father and I will always love him even though he wasn't much a part of my life as I was growing up..

Take heart my dear, we are here for you when you need us..

Ah they may not be the parent they should be-
yet we still love them- Good write!

I am sorry for your pain, yet how beautiful that you will transform it by loving your daughter differently.

That is pure blessing.

thank you, that means alot to me.

You are so very welcome.. if you ever need a shoulder, you can borrow mine.. I know what's it's like to have a dad that never supported you in anything you did, mine never came to see any of my achievements, no matter how hard I tried, I could never measure up.. even to this day..

Very touching...my father just passed and there was so much I wanted to say and didn't have the time..That poem is alot of what happened in my life..His bday is friday and it is hard...

that reminds me of my dad. and one of my sisters didnt talk to my dad or even see him for over 10yrs as she had nothing to say to him and there was one yr she ran into him in a elevator and he didnt even recgonize her. and she didnt say anything... when i had my surgey they actually made up.. i dont know if that was a good thing or bad
