Dear Dad
I’m sorry I’m not perfect Daddy
Though you know I try for you
I really miss my mommy, Daddy
And I think you miss her too
I know that she’s not really gone
Though mentally un-here
I thought that we should talk about it
To try to make things clear
Mommy wasn’t always crazy
Back twelve years ago
But then she had five children
And now we miss her so
Cuz now it’s hard to remember
The way she used to be
And no one sees she’s even gone
Except for you and me
Mommy used to be so fun
She used to not be mean
Mommy didn’t lay in bed
She used to get up and clean
She always used a gentle voice
And never would she yell
But now she seems so different
As if she’s under a spell
Is mommy ever coming back?
Daddy, will she ever?
I used to think she’d get some help
She didn’t then or ever
Daddy, are you going too?
I think I see you slipping
I know you want to follow mom
And you’ve got my mind flipping
I can not lose both of my parents
You know I need you so
Mommy is already gone
So Daddy, please don’t go!
