--------------------
When he yells at me
I thought he was a monster
When he raised up his hands with a leather belt
I wish he wasn't there
When he saw my every faults and spoke with anger
I wish he was not my father😢
--------
I used to pack my things
And go with friends
I envy with their fathers
As they are always cherreshly cared
I wish their dads would be my dad
While thinking bad
against my father!
--------
But then one day my friend attacks me
And her father never corrected her!
I expect her dad will stop her
But I was shocked he sent me back home rather!
---------
When I pack my things to go after
Then I saw a man upon the gutter
Standing as if he keeps on waiting
With in his hands my favorite bread and butter!
Oh my! It was my father
He told me they never sleep and my sweet mother dear!
Until all friends he search so deeper!
-----------
I thought he will slap and scourge me rather!
But with all his tears he
hugs me better!
My Dad my dad you're my best father!
I told my self I'm over cared!
But my mistakes he will not take
Without words of correction's uttered!
-------------
My dad whispered upon my ear!
Oh my only daughter!
How I wish I will always here!
You may grow up and found some lover!
But don't forget I'm alone your father!
And all my cares no lovers will ever dare!
Correcting you like this poor father dear!
-----------
Then I grow up
But my father left me upon the road so unprepared...
I told myself to gather!
All single words even his words of anger!
But I can't find those powerful sweet words ever
That I should keep his words forever!
For he was just alone my father!
