Christmas

Its Christmas dad,
and i wanted to say,
just how well,
Ive been doing these days.

I'm doing well in school dad,
my grades are better.
i went shopping last Tuesday,
to get my new dad a sweater.

my new family loves me dad,
but i don't know why.
they make me laugh, just like you,
but they don't make me cry.

i haven't been cutting dad,
Ive learned a new way to deal
its love dad,
it helps me heal.

i don't miss you that much dad,
I'm surprised to say.
so much anger in you dad,
please don't call me today.

or tomorrow dad,
or the next day,
i don't think i like you very much,
but my love will stay.

its OK dad,
i know how hard it must have been,
to sign the papers,
and give away your kid.

theres so much hate inside you dad,
why is it directed at me?
theres so much sadness inside you dad,
if i could id help set you free.

my new mom and dad kissed me goodnight last night,
they treat me extra nice.
they treat me like their own dad,
their little girl made with sugar and spice.

they love me dad,
how come you couldn't?
i don't think its that you cant,
i think its cause you wouldn't.

i don't miss you dad,
but i sure know god does.
he gave you the gift of a child
who has flown away like a dove.

but from the depths of my heart dad,
i just wanted to say,
that just the thought of your love,
is the greatest gift on Christmas day.
