Where Were You

Where were you to kiss me goodbye when I started PreK

Where were you to tuck me in at the end of each day

The times that I needed you, you were never there

Which led me to believe that you really didn't care

As time flew by I was in the seventh grade

 You came to my mothers house but I knew you wouldn't stay

I was at band practice when I got the call

I knew that when you left you'd take it all

My heart, my soul and even a piece of my mind

My tears and my sorrow were the only things left behind

As high school graduation came you said you couldn't make it

I was bummed that day but I knew I had to fake it

I am an adult now and I should be treated like one

I am a strong independent women now, thanks to all you've done

Dad, where were when I met the guy of my dreams?

I've wanted to tell you that he is so good to me

All I know now is that God watches from above

He knows all I've ever wanted was my own fathers love
