Daddy? What happened when you went out real late at night?

Why did you come home angry wanting to fight?

Why did you take it out on Mommy and I?

Did you want to scare us and make us cry?

I know you love us, you always had.

But why did things make you so mad?

But look at us now, Daddy, we worked our way through

We looked to the Lord who told us what to do

I still don't understand why things were how they used to be

Was it the drugs and alcohol, or was it just me?

I'm sorry if I made you angry. I'm sorry for Mommy too

But I could see it in her eyes that she truly loves you

Well, thank you Daddy, for staying with the love of your life

For helping us get past struggle and strife

For letting me grow up with a family that cares

And for letting me know that you will always be there

I love you.
