Your Child

Rainbows and Carebears

Are pictures of my past

The pictures of my present

Are the pictures that will last

Do you see this broken girl

Not knowing what to do?

The girl who was once happy

The one that looked to you?

The one who was excited

About the rising of the sun?

The one who loved adventure

The one who loved fun?

I gave you a choice

You picked the drugs and beer

You soon became something

I began to fear

Daddy, you were my hero

I one I longed for

I couldn’t wait til you were with me

I always wanted more

But now I have grown up

And I know you don’t care

All the times you lied to me

And caused my heart to tear

I do believe in forgiveness

And learning from the past

But if you plan on apologizing

You better do it fast

For there will come a day

When I will not care anymore

And you will have lost

All worth fighting for

So think about it, dad

You have a short while

So, I am giving you another chance

To claim me as your child
