DADDY, PLEASE…

Daddy, why don’t u believe me
When I say,
That I’ve grown up now,
I’m a big girl today!

Please, Daddy, give me a chance
To spread my wings;
And give me a chance to know
If love soothes or stings…

I love u, Daddy,
And I know u care;
But please, don’t tie me down,
Its so unfair!

Please, Daddy…

Let me tumble, let me fall,
Let me scrape my knee on the wall;

If u always hold my hand,
I may never learn to stand;

Let me falter, let me slip,
Let me feel the pain of every whip;

Let me rise on my own,
To know how it feels to be tired and worn;

Let me grumble, let me yell,
Let me come out of my shell;

Please, don’t dictate my every step,
Or I may never know what to do next;

Let me learn in my own way,
Let me have my every say;

Give me time to absorb and grow,
Don’t just push me towards the flow;

All I ask for is my space to think,
So that, my dreams stay afloat and they never sink;

Daddy, for a while, set me free,
Let me be…just me!
