For My Dad

I'm sorry if I let you down
The words you said did hurt
Forgive me for my thoughtlessness
By now I should have learned

I'm sorry for all you sacrificed
I know you've done your best
I'm sorry if all the beauty...
I turned into a mess

You have been there for me
in so many different ways
You deserve a million thank-yous
the very words I do not say

I try to be a good daughter
sometimes you make me so mad
I know that being overprotective
just comes with being a dad

You'll never know my love for you
I'm not too good at letting it show
Sometimes I want to open up
but I find I can't let go

You gave me so much love
You brought me so much joy
An endless amount of happiness,
amusement parks and toys

So many words I do not say
I know I'm wasting time
You can vanish at any moment
never knowing what's on my mind

I'll try and do much better
I'll try and change my ways
I hope that inside you know
my love grows with each
and every day...
