Daddy

My Daddy read the newspaper, I watched his lips move with such intent

He never spoke a word

This was the closest to his voice

I loved it

God sent!

I always loved my Daddy

But my Daddy did not love him

He got caught up in feeling unloved

So sad

He had such sin

Break his heart, tear him apart

And feel so deeply unloved like he did

I saw he was really loved by everyone

But the enemy from him kept that hid.

So I really did not get to have a daddy like I should

I often wished 

If only I could

A child always feels they should

and if only they could

if only he would

I prayed unti the day he died

Then I cried

I know he loved me, but you see

He did not know how to simply be

Free

From 

the booze

that made him shut up 

from the wounds that did ooze

of not having the love of his life

not being able to please

His little own wife.

But it was not at all him

It was other peoples sin

and her lonliness for home

she felt so all alone

He did not know

The enemy kept this from him

Oh how they did sin

To not hear and understand

The mean old devil and his mean old sin-to not open up there arms and hold one another -to not fold up there hands and not in there soul, scold one another

Time does heal but daddy issues are real.

Every child needs a daddy

That much a child can feel.

So mom and dad make yourselves clear

You love one another, husband and wife, don't ever let the other fear!
