Letter to Daddy<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Although you\u2019ll never read this,<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I think I have to ask<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Some questions that have<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Been burning my mind<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

For a long time<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

For over twelve years, to be precise.<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Starting on along this road<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Did you remember to take<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

My smiles with you<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

And the memory of hugging me?<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Do you still keep them,<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Or have you forgotten all<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

About me and how I<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Depended on you in everything?<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Remembering you is never hard<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Do you remember me?<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Crying for you is always easy,<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Where do my tears go?<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Can you really hear my voice<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

When I speak up,<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

As old wives\u2019 tales warn me?<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I put all this in writing<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

On a computer screen<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Which you have never seen<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

And which cannot be<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Stained with tears<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

As paper does.<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I write because<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019m still alive<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

And want to remember<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

And fancy you<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Remember me.<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
