Daddy I want to tell you something Daddy, I think you ought to hear, <br />I want to ask something Daddy, I've been wondering for years. <br />But maybe first I should ask if I may call you by that name, <br />Do you really deserve a title you never wanted to claim. <br />For twelve long years Daddy, not once have you been near, <br />I have learned to count on mommy; she's the one who's always here. <br />How much do you know about me Daddy, what's my favourite meal, <br />When you realize you don't know me Daddy, how does it make you feel. <br />I gave you a chance, I figured you'd explain, <br />But you blew it again Daddy, where's your brain. <br />It makes me sad to know there's men like you in this world, <br />Men that don't deserve a chance to know their little girls. <br />I'm a caring person Daddy, I really truly am, <br />And if this hurts you Daddy, maybe now you understand. <br />Do you like the way it feels Daddy, to be thrown off to the side, <br />I'm just glad I never wasted tears, I've been too busy to cry. <br />You will never walk me down the aisle, <br />And we will not meet again, so you'll never get a smile. <br />That's how it's meant to be Daddy, if you even care, <br />If you think I'm heartless Daddy, I only think it's fair. <br />Well Daddy's little princess is what I'll never be, <br />But that's just fine, my mommy loves me.<br /><br />Candy Simpson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/you-don-t-deserve-the-title-daddy/
