When I Was A Child

when i was a child, i saw a man that i wanted to be like
he was full of confidence, carisma, forsight, and insight
when i was a child i made myself a tiny little wish
that man was my father and i wanted to be more fatherish
it seemed all his plans where made to fruition
I always hoped, somday i’d get his fatherly intuition
when i was a child my father made sure i wanted for not
he did it with such ease i never knew how much he thought
when i was a child my father seemed so mighty and tall
now that im older all i fear is when my father will fall
it seemed like a thing that never could come to be
i dred life without him, for hes so much stronger than me
i hope that someday hell go to sleep without worry
knowing his small child has grown strong and burly
i just wanted u to know father that all my mistakes are mine
and u taut me everything good in me with your wisdom filled mind
