Little Girl, by Lifesangel Subscribe to rss feed for Lifesangel


Little girl, happy, smiling
Sitting on your knee
Playing games and having fun
Those days I called you daddy.

Your little girl began to grow
Through teens I made you mad
That was when I lost your love
The days I named you dad.

Missing through my adult years
Now strange to one another
I didn’t give you second thought
You became an absent father.

Then one day a sudden shock
You phone me out of the blue
Tell me that you’re at deaths door
Like I should feel for you.

Numb, like I have just been hit
I don’t know what to do
You come back after all these years
Just to leave me very soon.

To your face it’s ‘hello father’ 
For strong is how you see me
But inside I’m crying as your little girl
As I whisper ‘goodbye daddy’.

i wasnt really close to mine except when i was very young either. Very hard when he came to tell me he has cancer and a few weeks to live but I forgave him and we certainly had some very memorable special times in the short while we had left xxxxxx thankyou for your comment xxxxxx
