Words from my Dad

These never seem to make it far
Maybe because I'm pathetic and sad
Or maybe because I'm not good
Well not good enough for my Dad

I got all straight As; The highest marks
But he seemed to turn away ignore
And that id work so much; i cried
I gave everything; He still wants more

I never got in trouble;
All the teachers loved me
The people who hired me; for work
They could see the talent within me

But my Dad turned his back
And didn't ever show his care
So i knew i was alone;
And that he was no dad; never there

But on his dieing bed i sat
I watched the teacher of pain fall
His heart opened up to me
And his heart was no longer cold and small

He took my hand and spoke in agony
His heart beating slowly away
He looked in to my eyes
And with his heart began to say

Sorry Jess; I wasn't ever there
And you've made me a happy man
I couldn't be so proud my little girl
And i know you've gave; all you've given

I know i never told you all this
And had always looked away
But your my shining star
At the end of the day

I felt his hand lose grip
And his heart finally gave its last beat
And his words of love
Had made my life complete
