I wasn’t a good daughter

I know that now

Sometimes I wouldn’t give you the time of day

Or even a glass of water

‘I’m sorry,’

More than you know

Every night I ask for your forgiveness

But I’m not sure where my pleas go

Often I find myself asking, ‘what am I gonna do now,’

I hope I’ll get an answer

Though I don’t know how

I wasn’t a good daughter

I know that now

I can’t fix what I’ve done

Or wish you back for more time on earth

You have it better Dad

I know that

In Heaven above

You have nothing left to do

Even though we are left to be sad

That we know is true

I hope you are the one I see Dad

When my journey ends

Let me say, ‘I’m sorry dad’

For the way I was then
