For All The Daddies
For All The Daddies
Her daddy called her an ugly child...
words that child believed...
When she looked into the mirror
she remembered his words then grieved.
He told her she was a stupid girl
words she could not understand,
but he was, after all, her dad
and he must know firsthand...
Her daddy called her a worthless child,
more "truth" that she embraced
and long after he left had this world
her heart felt so debased.
It didn't matter who said what,
his words were all she heard.
That man had turned his baby girl
into a wounded bird.
The years flew by. That wounded bird
who never could yet fly
huddled in her little cage
too ashamed to even try.
And then one day, God saw her tears
and healed her broken wing...
He sent a band of angels who
then taught her to fly and sing.
That little girl who still lived within,
then, said a little prayer...
for all the daddies in the world
to use their words with care.
