A Simple Wish

A simple wish is really all I want,
of a loving, caring father in my life.
A hug and kiss every night before bed,
a loving smile when I achieve something great.

A simple wish is really all I want,
of a dad who really cares about me.
Who holds my hand when we cross the street,
and protects me from the hateful glares and words.

A simple wish is really all I want,
of a dad like all the other kids have.
Someone to hold me close when I have a nightmare,
and someone to tell me stories about their past.

A simple wish is really all I want,
I don't ask for much but a dad.
Someone to be part of my life,
all I want is a simple wish!
