Years have gone by
and I have grown
into a woman,a wife
with children of my own
I am way to big
to swing through the air
and you couldn't rock me to sleep
at night in your chair
So much we have missed
by years spent apart
but I have kept the memories
close to my heart
No bedtime stories
or monsters to chase away
no melting ice cream cones
on a bright sunny day
No pigtails to braid
with bows in my hair
no holding my hand
so I don't fall down the stairs
But formatter how big I get
or how I grow
there is one thing
I want you to know
Don't dwell on the things
that we never had
I may be a woman now
but I still need my Dad
