"Sweet Sixteen"
I turn 16 in 15 day; sweet 16 it's almost time.
Most girls would be excited, unlike I.
Me, I just want my father to be here.
I wish for once, he could be here for something that's important to me!
He wasn't here when I first became a teen,
He wasn't here when I graduated eighth grade,
And now, when I'm finally becoming a young lady, becoming partially independent,
Gaining responsibilities I only dreamed of having,
The time I get my licenses and first car.
All he can say is "I wish I could be there to see my little girl grow up!"
He makes no attempt to show up, call, and I probably won't receive so much as a card!
Yes, he lives twelve hours away, but for once, instead of me going to him,
Why can't he come to me?
The day that's supposed to be my best,
Won't be as good as I always dreamed!
There's the catch they're all just dreams.
Dreams that may never come true,
No matter how I hope and pray!
I turn 16 in 15 days; sweet 16 it's almost time.
And daddy is no where to be seen!
