I'll always love you Dad

You said you'd always be here, Dad
Well I guess that was a lie,
You missed every tear, Dad
That I have cried.

I know you're far away, Dad
I know you have a new life,
With all your dogs, house, and boats, Dad
And your new wife.

I miss when you hug me, Dad
After long weeks unseen,
I miss spending time with you, Dad
Even in my dream.

Your either working or fishing, Dad
I can't keep up with you,
I only go fishing, Dad
Just to spend time with you.

Now that I'm growing up, Dad
I have a new life,
There's school and my job, Dad
Yes, that's my life.

I will always love you, Dad
With all of my heart,
I know you love me too, Dad
Even though we're far apart.
