Thank You!

Okay dad, it appears you can’t get enough of me writing about you all the time,

Getting me up in the middle of the nite, because of you “I CAN’T SLEEP”, but you claim, oh, it’ll be just fine.

Yeah, that’s what you say, to me, each and every day,

Soon as I lay down, to get some shut-eye, you tell me, “Rise and Shine, It’s Time To Play”.

I’ll be glad when you finally call me home,

Because of you, I’m never alone.

You never, ever gonna let me forget, that once upon a time, long ago,

I turned my back on you, but, you never said no.

You allowed me to go and do my own thing,

Didn’t know at the time, but you knew the sorrow, it would eventually bring.

I know why you’re doing this, making me do a public confession,

You already know, it’s much more, “it’s a possession”.

Yes, dad, you’ve got me, rite where you want me,

I have to do what you say, when you say, how you say, if I want to be free.

Free from all that this wicked world has to offer,

Been there, done that. I’m finished with that coffer.

And you never, ever want me to sleep,

Telling me, “go cry in my cappuccino, (I don’t drink coffee) but don’t come to you and weep”.

O-Kee-Dokey, if that’s how you’re gonna be,

Guess I’ll have to accept it, if I wanna remain free.

But you alright with me, even though you “never let me be God for a day”,

But you have, “ALWAYS BEEN THERE FOR ME, IN EVERY OTHER WAY”.

Okay dude, I can roll with that,

Peeps who don’t know you, (too bad for them) I know, “you a pretty cool cat”.

Yes dad, you were always there for me, even at times I wasn’t aware,

And you always pulled me out of the shenanigans I got into to, because you really do care.

But since the beginning, I’ve always known, with you, “aint shit free”,

Forever, I’ll be in debt and you always say, “Remember, Now You Owe Me”.

Telling me, hey “Mini-Me”, I’m springing for lunch,

But I already know, “this is gonna cost a bunch”.

Yeah, you a pretty cool dad,

Planet earth, he’s mine as well as yours, ‘THE BEST ANYONE’S EVERY HAD”.

So, I need to tell you, it’s in your best interests to turn around,

Get prepared for the worldwide sound,

The tremors are going to vibrate and possibly tear up the streets,

Don’t be surprised if it knocks you off your feet.

World better get your shit together,

Our Father (dad is what I call Him, everyone else God) is about to give the entire planet “stormy weather”.

Listen for the sound of the continual ringing of the bell,

At that time, it’s a sign, pretty soon: Heaven or Hell.

So how about a big show of appreciation for our dad,

To let Him know, “HE WILL ALWAYS BE THE BEST ANYONE’S EVER HAD”.

So dad, this is from me and the world to you.

THANK YOU!
