THE PAPA'S GIRL 2

 

 

In your 20th death anniversary
Your last words I still remember clearly
You've called me to come closely
You've told me that no one had talked to you so bravely
How irresponsible you've been to the family
Yes, I remember the letter that was so lengthy
I expressed my frustrations with you brutally
Then you came home unexpectedly
You've tried to patch things up in the family
But things did not work out so easily
So you've decided to leave again one day
But it turned out to be better that way
So we've learned to face our battles fearlessly
Days, weeks, months, years, came so quickly
Until you've called me on that very day
On that bamboo bed under the tree you did lay
Then you gave your last message to me shortly
You've said "Listen to me intently,
Don't you ever think that you can trust anybody,
Not even with my very own family.
You need to know that they will be gone one day,
So you have to learn to stand without anybody."
That message wasn't real to me that day
I didn't think that it will come into a reality
But after your death a change took place so quickly
The people I trusted one by one just went away
And yes, you were right about your family
For they slammed the door so strongly
Now I realized why you've changed so suddenly
You just prepared me for that very day
A day of a sad reality
A day of a painful memory
A reality that no one will forever stay
A memory of a great misery
But today is a Father’s Day

Should I be happy
Don't worry I am now very okay
I chose to let go of those painful memory
I realized that it prepared me for a better today
Though life is still complicated and not easy
But I know now how to face it positively
For I found a better Daddy
When you left He determined to stay
When you failed He did not walk away
It was Him who took your place lovingly
He assured me that everything will be okay
He explained to me why you've changed that way
He told me that He did it purposely
For He heard my prayers one day
To prepare my heart before He takes you away
Now the papa's girl is a lot better today
For she learned to trust only to the perfect Daddy
I hope to see you again one day
And on that very day
Never would I talk to you so bitterly
Pa, Happy Father’s Day!
