Fatherless Child
As each day goes by I pray that it's my last as a fatherless child
Looking to God I ask the question... Why?
Rocking back and forth I pat myself on the chest hoping the feeling of being unwanted will subside
Lord, please forgive my father and when your chariot swings low I pray you let him ride
I'm writing this piece because now is the time I could use him most of all
The family is facing tremendous trials and the lost years seem way too long
To see him without concern at such a critical time makes me shed tears
Despite his absence in our lives, it's true, I love him still
Lord, bless those children that are standing in my shoes
Ease our pain, if you will, and supply us with what we need to make it through
If it's not too much to ask... will you perform a miracle for me?
Let the phone ring and when I answer I'd like to scream... Daddy!
Thanks for all you've done for me and mine
Just an expression... ... ...
