Come By Papa

Dad why is it so hard to love you...
Because of you I am today
You're so cold in your loving
And it's drifting us apart papa

How i wish for your waiting open arms
To embrace me and promise me love
Sit up with me late with me telling stories
I love you daddy please come by
Love us like before

Papa tell me the crazy things you did
The things you did as a young boy
And make me roll with laughter
I will laugh till you laugh along

Mama my siblings and I  will wait
Till you come home before we eat
I will help fix your table
Kiss you goodnight before I retire
Looking forward to another beautiful day

I want you to be always there for us
Both physically and emotionally
Solid and firm papa
A symbol of hope and protection
We miss you papa
Make us smile again

We should be more of a family
Than live like neighbours
Only say pleasantries when we see
Let's sit eat and joke papa
Family do just that

I know it's hard papa
But i promise you we will be here for you
