So Daddy Please Love Me Again Poem by BRUCE MARTONE

YOU ONCE HELD ME IN THE AIR SO HIGH
WHEN I WAS BORN
SHOWING ME OFF TO THE WORLD
WITH OUT A CARE.
SO DADDY WHY CAN'T YOU LOVE ME
FOR WHO I AM NOW
AND LETTING ARE DIFFERENCES GO SOME HOW
BY COMING TO MY SHOW
WHO KNOWS YOU MAY EVEN CLAP FOR ME
BUT I SEE THE SEAT STILL EMPTY IN FRONT OF ME.
SO DADDY ONE LAST TIME BEFORE I LEAVE
CAN YOU AT LEAST SMILE FOR ME
IF YOU CAN'T SAY THOSE THREE WORDS TO ME
THAT I STILL SAY TO YOU
AND DEEP DOWN I KNOW IN YOUR COLD HEART
YOU KNOW IT'S TRUE AS WELL AS I DO.
AND IF YOU DON'T OR YOU WON'T
THAN THERE ONLY ONE THING LEFT TO SAY
IS GOODBYE
AND MAY BE ONE DAY DOWN THE ROAD
WILL MEET AGAIN THIS WAY
EVEN IF IT'S JUST TO SAY HELLO
THAT WOULD STILL BE OKAY.
