Papa
Today I was lost
in my own thoughts and
I wished that you were near
to help me sort them out
and tell me what to do
or at least give me
a word
Papa
There are things
which only a father and
his daughter can share and
talk about without having
to worry about others
knowing or judging
simply
Papa
I long for those times
when you held my hands
when we came to crossroads
and led me confidently and
safely to the other side
like a little child
lost
Papa
If only time was ours
to catch and to hold and
to keep and control I wouldn't
let you go and leave me
to walk the rest of
this journey
alone
Papa
I am okay and I wish you
are around to share my happiness
or see the children grow and
see the world the way I do
For it is because of
what you made
me do
