WHAT I NEED FROM YOU, DAD
By Melissa Elyon
Hi dad, it's me, your baby girl
When I came into your life I had hopes and dreams
I hoped for happiness, acceptance, and understanding
I hoped for peace, warmth, and stability
I hoped you would hold my hand as I grew up
I hoped you would be there when the sunset for me and the light behind the clouds seemed forever lost
I dreamt you would be my hero, my knight in shining armor,
I dreamt you would be my friend, my confidant my mentor,
I dreamt you would be my teacher, my guide and light of my life,
I dreamt you would lovingly showing me how to mature into an adult
