DEAR STRANGER

I miss you and i really never met you,
my idol but i never really knew you,
u left me when i was small...
i was to young to remember at all...
but some how i feel its affected my life too...
ive always felt alone nobody to look up to...
it hurts not knowing who i came from..
just pictures from when u were young show where my looks came from...
now your up above looking down...
and when im down im just looking around...
feeling lost with nobody to turn to..
why god had to take you?...
a tear falls, to see you i couldnt wait too..
to have known you, i guess it wasnt fate...
you died on the job, u couldnt be late?..
alot of times i look for different answers...
y couldnt he just get cancer...
maybe i wouldve known him longer, maybe...
maybe i couldve heard his thoughts, he couldve seen my baby...
see wat ive become, a grown man not following the streets..
a man, a great father, being all i can be..
i just want to know hes proud...
if you can hear me up there scream it back loud...
i promise ill get the words you can even send me a letter..
i promise ill get it, i promise ill get better...
make you happy ur son is man...
nobody to fall back on, on my own two legs i stand...
i promised you dad when i was younger id be a great father...
id never leave her or let anyone prevent me beig there for her....
But back to you, your really just a stranger to me..
so its crazy how much the thought affects me...
cuz im blessed to be me and have the family i have..
but theres something inside that hurts cuz i never met my dad...
