Created with Love, LoriFlower Dear Daddy I came to see you today, the weather was beautiful and the drive down was very pleasant. I had a lot to tell you, but you were very quiet, But that's OK Dad, I didn't mind doing all of the talking. I came to see you for several reasons Dad, I wanted to tell you how sorry I was for all the wrongs I have done in my life. I wanted to tell you how much you meant to me Throughout my life. I wanted to tell you how much I love you And how much I admire you. I wanted to tell you how much I respect you And all you stand for. You were very quiet Dad, But that's OK, I didn't mind doing all of the talking. I came to tell you that I wished I had listened to you All those years ago when you tried to help me To get my life straight. I came to tell you that I turned forty-two last month And I still don't have anything to show for my life. I came to tell you Dad, that finally, After all these years I want to change. You were very quiet Dad, But that's OK, I didn't mind doing all of the talking. I came to tell you that my son graduated At the top of his class last year, Dad. I came to tell you that he will make a fine lawyer for the firm He went to work for. He reminds me a lot of you Dad In so many ways. I came to tell you that I really appreciate The man who stepped in to raise my son I came to tell you how sorry I am That I let the drugs, alcohol and the women Always come first in my life. You were very quiet Dad But that's OK, I didn't mind doing all of the talking. Dad, I came to tell you that the doctors say I don't have long for this world The doctors said, that my liver is almost gone And my heart is just tired of trying. You were very quiet today Dad But that's OK, I didn't mind doing all of the talking. As I was getting ready to leave All I wanted more than anything in this world Was to hear you say, "Son, sit down and talk to me". I knew that was impossible, Dad you left us ten years ago And Dad I miss you. I put your roses on your grave and turned to go And as I did I thought, I heard you call my name And ask me to sit down and talk awhile. Dad, it was only the wind You were very quiet today Dad But that's OK, it's about time I did the talking. Kathy Phillips January 31, 1996 Have A Web Page?
