Daddy, forgive me!

Daddy, forgive me...
You have been nothing but everything,
The rock that I build on,
The shoulder which I stand upon,
With you I saw the horizon,
And yet, I get the better of me!

Daddy, forgive me...
For leaving words unsaid,
When you were always so generous with them,
When you raise me up bathed in them,
You were always ready to affirm!

Daddy, forgive me...
For putting you up on the line,
Though,
I wanted you to know, to me, your life is more precious than mine!

Daddy, forgive me...
For keeping you awake with worry,
For telling you lies,
For not saying sorry,
For the tears you had in your eyes!

Daddy, forgive me..
For if you don't, my life isn't any,
For if you don't, my sadness too many,
For if you don't, I have no victory,
To conquer my pride and say what needs to be!
