Your Daughter

I was just a baby girl

  With a little baby curl

Just a little one year old

  When you left me in the cold

You couldn't bare to stay with me

  From my mom you wanted free

She was a beast I understand

  No one could meet her demand

See the thing that bothers me

  Is that you knew she was crazy

Yet you left me by myself

  Like an old dish on a shelf

Did you know it was her plan

  To go and marry another man?

What for me he had in store

  Well that would send you to the floor

Were you aware that late one night

  He would nearly take my life?

Dying in the ICU

  I didn't even know about you

I'd no idea you were my father

  No one cared or seemed to bother

When I learned he wasn't my dad

  I was, wow! So very glad

I started doing all I could

  Everything I thought I should

Even when the days grew hotter

  I wanted to be your daughter

6 foot 4 and eyes pale blue

  My own brown eyes reflected you

'Your spitting image', mom would say

  'Just let him love me', I would pray

I finally got to meet you

  Everything she said was true

There was no doubt you were my father

  And that I was your teenage daughter.
