Beautiful child
All alone
Confidence, none
Self-esteem, gone
Self worth never known

Beautiful girl
Hazel green eyes
All alone
But still strong
Though not strong enough
To fight away the demons 
that come to destroy you
in the form of man

Daddy, oh Daddy
She cries for you
You know
She needs your
shoulders to lean on
Someone to fight the big bad
wolves of her young world

Daddy, oh Daddy
She longs for you
Cries at night with
needing you
She needs a daddy
She needs your love

Beautiful woman
Beauty inside, and out
Kind and generous
A loving mother
so she's told
Still cries for her daddy
You know

Beautiful daughter
Who needs a father
But he doesn't know
She's been tossed about
Abused in so many ways
Cries out
Father where are you

Father, oh Father
You have another daughter
She's your first
Remember her?
Where have you been
She loves you still

Father, oh Father
Where have you been
She may be grown
But she has wounds
you've never known
Bruises in the heart that
a father is needed to mend
It's not to late to be her daddy

Father, Daughter
They look so alike
Unmistakeable resemblance
This daughter needs her father
For once, for always



NOTE: This is very hard for me to write
          It  is very personal, and gut wrenching.
          Anyone who has read about me, my other poetry,
          knows something of what I speak. I often wonder,
          if my father had kept in contact with me after the   
         divorce if it would have made the other abuses
         not so bad, I mean, I wouldn't have been so
         alone. You know what I mean. I would of maybe had a
         daddy. I don't know...Who knows....
