Dad,
It'd have been nice to start this letter out saying
that you've always been here and always caring
But i cant so i have to start by reminding
you about how you make my life be
You've never really been around a lot
Sometimes when my door opens i hope its you but is not
wanting you to show me you cared is all that i sought
But you were always too busy for me
When you are around all you do is scream and yell
You think what you say will happen on the bell
sometimes you make feel like i live in hell
you tare me up inside i hope that you see
A lot of the time i wish i could run
you saying i need sometime alone, Hun
you never eat with us at home always grabbing things on a bun
You need to come home take me to see the country
I hope this has helped you
I hate it when you make me feel like i should shew
and i guess i must say it, i bid ye Au Du
maybe this will help you understand me
love,
your only daughter

yep i think this explains how i feel toward my dad and how my dad makes me feel...but some of the things i wanted to say could not have been because of contest purposes

Oh how hard is this Your dad should take more time for you. Years going by so fast and before he knows Your to old to do all that wonderful experiences that you need to have with your dad.
Just that rock where you always should be able to turn to. I know that i could live without making my daughter happy To see her thankful smile To see the happiness in her eyes. That is more worth then all the money all the things in the world.
I hope he read your write and learn to understand you and make time for you before its to late
