Made You Proud?!?!

by Lynzie   Mar 16, 2007


As she grabs her bouquet and looks back on her life
She remembers the days when they would fight
All the yelling, throwing, and crying
She couldn't live it she would of rather been dying

She couldn't believe he had said the words
That would affect the life of any little girl
He told her she was no longer his, she was just a mistake
As another guzzle from the bottle he would take

She would always forgive never thought it meant a thing
Because ever time he said it, it was after a few drinks
Thought he would always love her and would forever be her dad
But why try to hide the pain when a perfect life she didn't have

A tear runs down her cheek as she thinks of all thats in the past
She never imagined that all the memories would last
As she looks in the mirror at her long white dress
She cant seem to get them to come to a rest

This day is one of the best to come in her life
She is about to become a beautiful wife
All eyes will be on her as she walks down the aisle
She never thought pushing through would be worth while

Her granddad walks in says "its time to give you away"
He holds her head up and brushes softly across her face
"If only he could be here to see how happy you are
He would tell you that your still his brightest star"

She couldn't find any words to say
She started to remember that very day
The day that he had way too much to drink
She didn't even try to stop him she didn't take time to think

She just watched him go by and grab the keys
Her mom was the one that had made him leave
The girl was so used to all the fighting she just closed her door
She turned on her stereo and laid across the floor

She folded her hands as she started to pray
Please God just let us get through one more day
Bring us a brighter tomorrow
One not filled with guilt nor sorrow

As she said amen on her pillow she softly laid her head down
She deeply thought as she stared back at the girl in the lacy white gown
She looked back in her mind to the very night
That her dad had sadly lost his life

He left in such a hurry wasn't clear in his thoughts
All he knew was that his nerves were completely shot
He was speeding and forgot about the curve
He didn't remember in time he didn't even swerve

She snapped back to reality as it was time for her to go
It was finally time for her to be the star of the show
As she kissed his picture and said i love you out loud
She looked to the sky and said dad I hope I've made you proud...
