Daddy can't you see me even though you're so far away? |
Daddy can you see me Grasping tightly to your thumb With my tiny little hand? Can you see my Tiny eyes glancing up at you In wonder? Daddy can you see me As I take a tiny step Slowly, one at a time? Can you see me Stumbling and falling but never Giving up? Daddy can you see me Walking into that new building With my head held high? Can you see me As I take another step closer to Growing up? Daddy can you see me As I take I buckle myself in Taking the next step into adulthood? Can you see my Nervous anticipation over the next step Of become free? Daddy can you see me As I stand there in cap and gown Preparing for the colossal change approaching? Can you see me As I walk across that stage, leaving behind My childhood? Daddy can you see me Even though you are so far away? Do you see me as I grow and change; Become a young woman Independent And forever in the realization That you have missed so much of me? Daddy do you know That you are forever in my heart; A part of me that will never die? You may be absent from this earth But you will forever live on. Daddy can’t you see? So much of you, I find in me |
