Daddy And I



Dad and I always do against each other's will
if he advised me to do this, prefers my way...
when I explained my side he insist his right
sigh! dad and I never agree to one another.

Despite disagreements and misunderstanding-
in most trying times I see no one but daddy
should I forget the day he held my hands...
when he says,"rather die than see you crying".

You see, daddy and I might be different
in line of reasoning most of the times-
yet find it really funny every time I cry
still long for daddy's care at the very end.
