When times get rough <br />He says be tough - <br />Don't cry, control yourself, <br />Put hate upon the shelf. <br /> <br />If this is so, why can daddy run? <br />If there's a battle he hasn't won, <br />Why can daddy run? <br /> <br />we had a problem at home, you see, <br />And it all really got to me. <br />It turned my life inside out <br />I was going crazy without a doubt. <br />Being the mature daughter I was <br />I was expected to handle my 'couz' <br />Talk things out, set them straight <br />If it didn't work out, just had to wait. <br />(It'll all work out) <br />But if this is so, why can Daddy run? <br />What's the matter, things aren't fun? <br />Go ahead, then - RUN! <br />(I can work it out.)<br /><br />Jodie Phillips<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/go-ahead-and-run-1989/
