Dad

By: Sarah Ann Wilcox

I must admit,
You've hurt me in the past,
But I think it's time
To forgive you at last.

I know you never meant
To hurt me at all,
But it hurts 'cause I can't see you;
I can only call.

I told you when you left
That I didn't mind.
The truth is,
I was just trying to be kind.

A tear fell from my eye
When you told me you were moving,
I tried to cover it up,
But you always know how I'm feeling.

'Cause you're so far away,
We can't help each other when we're sad.
I know we want to,
But it still makes me mad.

We've been through a lot;
Had our ups and our downs.
We've survived the Laughter,
Tears smiles and frowns.

You're not only my dad,
You're my best friend,
And no matter what,
It'll be like that till the end.
