Before Heaven

Before Heaven



Daddy! Daddy! Daddy! Daddy! Daddy! Daddy!



My daddy!

My daddy!

Why does he not fight to see me

Why does he not yearn to be with me

Why does he consider me, not a priority

Why am I not of urgent importance to him

Doesn't he miss me

Does he miss my smile

Does he miss my hugs

Doesn't he want to be around me

Surrounded by my love



I know I am grown up now

But the child that left him

When he left her

Still stands at the same place

Waiting for him to return

Her love for him still burns



Daddy! Daddy! Daddy! Daddy! Daddy! Daddy!



My baby!

My baby!

I want to feel like he

would do whatever

Just to see me

His first baby

He would fly the skies

Covering miles

Just to be with me

Does he really love me

Has he abandoned me

Am I a fading memory past

Am I an outcast

Like a shadow cast

Fading fast

That is not really there



I want him near

I love him so much

I miss his touch

I miss his presence

In my life

My greatest fear is that

He will pass away

With no more day

No more nights

Of could be, would be

Maybe, maybe . . .

We will see each other

Be with each other

Father and daughter again.

Before heaven



Daddy! Daddy! Daddy! Daddy! Daddy! Daddy!
