Me and Daddy....By: Katie Counts

Well where to begin I shall not say
I was too young to remember each and everyday
I have thoughts of few with pretty hair bows
Sometimes I remember winters full of snows
All the kids at school had someone to give their
gifts to on fathers day
When all I did was take mine home and there on the
dresser they would lay
Yea I could mail it and all
But then it could easily all just fall
As time moved on and I grew older
I learned that it was time to take a stand and prove myself be more bolder
It was hard growing up with out a dad
Life was hard, and at sometimes I never knew it
could hurt so bad
I would cry at night relizing that there was no one
who cared
I COULD talk to mom or my sisters, they wouldnt have
time to spare
So I kept to myself, and went on about my business
Everynow and then he would send me a card
Not knowing that he made my life seem just so hard
Reading that card that he did send
Caused me to get mad and made me want revenge
How could he do this to his little girl
But he was just trying to make sure that he was part
of my world
Knowing good and well what I was doing
I got angry, upset, and felt like he deserved a good
chewing
When he would call, I would pretend that I was
asleep
I would lay in my room and not make a peep
Then one day I got another phone call
This wasnt from my dad this wasnt from him at all
It was the hospital saying he was injured
I was thinking I guess he has done went off and
broke
his little finger
Cause you know my dad is kinda crazy
But he works all the time, NEVER EVER lazy
But this call was for real
It wasnt a joke and they could just send him home
with a pill
I went to see him, but he couldnt see me
He just layed there so helplessly
I cried and cried so very long that night
For now I relized this was the man who helped give
me life
So very many things are going to have to change
It doesnt matter what it is, just every little thing
My dad doesn't know who I am and hasnt now for
sometime
But soon he will recover and if not I know it will
be his time
The days went by and weeks flew past
Doctors told us that these next days would be his
last
Not knowing what to say or what to do
I now know that all the letter and feeling from him
where true
I felt angry at myself for being so foolish
This man lying in the hospital bed was so innocent
And all along I had my self thinking the opposite
I was so scared
and to think what was to come I did not dare
The next day I went to visit
As I went in his room all you could do was just sit
So I sat and talked the my precious father
And whatever he went through I was there
In the times of happiness or even in dispare
Then it happened on that special day
My daddy opened his eyes and that is all there is to
say
That moment in time stopped for me
My daddy laying in the bed opened his eyes for me to
see
From then on it was all up-hill
Every little thing was such a big deal
Then before we knew it my daddy was out of the
hopital
He was still kinda fragile
And needed lots of care
But everyone was there to chip in and had given him
all their time to spare
Now my daddy and me are growing closer eachday
We talk about more and have learned how to
communicate
I love my father with all my heart
And will never forget how God gave us a brand new
start!!
Thanks for taking time to read this. I would appriciate it if you would email me and tell me what you think about it...
