There were always times
Harder than the rest
Still all I ever got
Was "I do my best"
At five Daddy left
At six he was gone
Forever somewhere
What did I do wrong?
I came to blame you
As my life ended
So much pain I felt
Never to be mended
Mad as a hatter
Others made you feel
But I paid the price
As you screamed and reeled
And yet here we are
Years have somehow flown
I've found no answers
But these truths are known
I don't have a dad
This much is a fact
Sometimes I wish it
Were all just an act
I only have you
This much is certain
Though at times I want
To call it curtains
But I still have you
For always and more
Surely with you life
Is never a bore
Both mom and dad
You unlike the rest
I am here today
Since you did your best
