Where Were You

A little baby girl

not even one year old

without her daddies arms

the nights felt very cold



daddy I cant breath

so to the hospital they go

mommy held me down

where was my daddy though?



16 years had gone

my dad was mostly there 

but that morning he left

I said I didn't care



for two years I barely saw him

just talked to him now and then

but still I believed in him

and I'll choose to believe again



My graduation came 

he promised me he'd come

but when I walked across the stage

I only saw my mom



Why weren't you there daddy?

I still believe in you

I love you daddy and always will

please just show you love me too
