If there had been a name
Tell me, would it still be the same?
Why am I trying to take the blame?
Baby, I wish you were here...

Sometimes I hear the cry
So, Rhonda, why don't you tell me why?
Why in the hell did you have to lie?
Baby, I wish I could see...

I pray to God that your soul is free
and that one day, you'll come to me

and look in your father's eyes

A touching poem of a father in pain.

Until the last line, I thought this was about your father.  When I realized it wasn't, it really packed a punch.  ((((Jeff)))) here's a hug to help with some of the pain.

Take me as I am or watch me as I go
