My dearest daughter, My first child,
I wish I could change the days I was wild.
If a genie granted me one wish,
I'd go back in time and leave with a kiss.
I would have been there your first day of school,
I would have punished you when you broke a rule.
We would have taken walks in the park,
I would have held you when you feared the dark.
Your first boyfriend would have hated me,
I would have tortured him with a third degree.
We would have taken a special vacation,
I would have enforced your education.
I would have made time to be YOUR FATHER,
I would not have let you feel you were a bother.
I ran in circles day after day,
I let your childhood get away.
If I knew then what I know now,
I would have change it some way some how.
I can not give you back those days
I can only be here now in different ways.
All I want is another chance,
I want to share your wedding dance.
You taught me more than I taught you,
I finally know what I must do.
