Talk to Me Dad

 

Dad, I know your near me

And I know I’ve got your attention

Indecision has taken hold

I’m in need of your intervention

 

Questions compete for my resolve

Answers playing hide and seek

I’m listening to my heart

For your influence to speak

 

I might have thought I knew it all

While in my selfish youth

But now that I’m older

I know you were my source of truth

 

You always had my back

Even if I didn’t know

I hope you now see my respect

And my love for you shows

 

I’m trying to weigh out the factors

And determine the best choices

With family love I believe

In Heavenly voices

 

And dad, I need you to know

Just how much we miss you

Both you and mom

And how very much we love you
