She watches her dad walk away
and then she goes outside to play
its no big deal you hear her say
but she doesn't feel right that entire day
or any other day thereafter
and soon her life is a road of disaster
for everyone she tries to trust
it seems shes only trying to catch up
to her daddy that left her long before
she had no idea what life had in store for her
though she loved all with intentions good
it seems no one who loved her really understood
her needs and wants, her heart's desire
to be seen, heard, held, loved by her father
the question remains as it stands
is she brave enough to face the grief at hand?
to feel the loss of daddy's love
the hugs, the attention she never got
and let go of the need to replace him
and live a life of truth embracing
the knowledge that in all things
Gods love is all she truly needs
