Array ( [sid] => 60781 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Dad... Why'd You Leave? [time] => 2004-08-20 04:15:45 [hometext] => about my dad... not much more i can say about it.. it explains itself pretty well [bodytext] => Why did you leave me?
I know I was so young
But I needed a fatherly figure in my life
I didn’t need to deal
With such a tragedy
At the age of four

Ever since you
Mom has tried
To find another guy
But none can compare
Even though lots have tried

Only one has succeeded
In mom’s eye’s
But none will ever
Compare in mine
You will always be
My one and only dad!

Beautifully written and fro mthe heart which makes it all the more dear.
