Dad's Little Girl

It's half past 6 , Mum's busy with her chores

Wake up my lazy daughter, I hear my dad roar

But I pull up the rug, wanna sleep a little more

The clock seems ticking, I wish it would stop

Am chained to the bed, but then I hear him pop

This time I wake up else I know it would be a slop

Rushing through the things I dash out of sight

I hear dad mutter, you gotta learn to manage time right

He is angry with me, but then it’s only slight

It takes just a sorry to make things right

I forget what am told and try to make him see my plight

But he knows me better to handle my pitiful sight

And when am wrong there is no way I can fight

I mess up sometimes and then I try to hide  

It seems the toughest thing, coz I can't take him on a ride

But he is my friend, in him I can confide

Coz I know he will always be by my side.

Sometimes am silly, sometimes am right

At times am stubborn, and there are times I just cry

However I might turn up, I know am beautiful to thy

And you will love me this way even if I make you sigh.

I love you too dad, are the only words i could rake

Just holding your hand makes me feel safe 

If a part in life’s play I did want to always see

It’s dad's little girl I did always love to be!
