FOR MY DAD

I do not remember calling him daddy
He never had time to play with us
Only had time to discipline us
Even now he works hard
I wished he worked that hard for me

I do not remember calling him daddy
I never will till my dying day:
Dad, can I do this?
Dad, can you read that?
Dad why won’t you let me grow up?

I do not remember calling him daddy
Dad I need man in my life,
Someone who cares and loves me a lot.
Probably never will.
Dad you always agree with Mom.

I do not remember calling him daddy
You never listen to your own will.
I see the pain, Dad, I see the tears.
Dad, please be human, please just be you.
So I can call you DADDY
