How?

How can you look at her
And say that she's a mistake?
Look down at what you helped create
with eyes full of hate.

How can you stare into her eyes
And deny that she's yours?
Creating problems and
making yourself look dumb.

How can you stand there
And not smile at everything she does?
Scowl at our precious gift
hating her and being miffed.

How can you ingnore her
And not love her unconditonally?
Not lifting a finger to help
only caring about yourself.

How can you watch her grow
And not feel complete?
Living your life always mad
because you're turning out to be a dead beat dad.

How can you live with her
And not even care?
Just waiting for your chance to run
wiping your hands and being done.

How can you know her
and run away?
I don't understand you
but I guess this is my cue.

I'll be the one to tell her
Just how beautiful she is.
How much she's loved
How she's my angel from up above.

I'll be the one to watch her
Get older, fall in love, and say
How she should follow her heart
How I did from the start.

I'll be the one to enjoy her
Stories about our grandchild.
How he learnt a new new word today
How the boy plays away his whole day.

I'll be the one to love her
Forever and remind her
How she was wanted
How she is the best thing to ever happen to me.

And you'll be the one who missed out.
All because you felt cheated.
How's the life you ran to?
As good as the one you ran away from?
