THE INSIDE..THE POEM ON TOP SAYSTHERE ARE MOMENTS IN LIFE WHEN YOU MISS SOMEONE SO MUCH YOU WANT TO PICK THEM UP FROM YOUR DREAMS AND HUG THEM FOR REAL
NEXT MONDAY IS MY DADS BIRTHDAY..SO I MADE HIM A HOME MADE CARD..I NORMALLY ALWAYS MAKE HIM SOMETHING..LAST YEAR I MADE HIM A PICTURE OF ME WHEN I WAS LITTLE,AND THE YEAR BEFORE THAT I MADE HIM A SCRAPBOOK FULL OF PICTURES THROUGH OUT THE YEARS..MY DAD MEANS ALOT TO ME..I WORRY ABOUT HIM ALL THE TIME,AND WONDER HOW HES DOING..HE IS TURNING 50..I LOVE YOU DADDY
I REMEMBER LOOKING UP TO LOOK UP TO HIM
AND I REMEMBER MOST THE TIME HE WASN'T THERE
I'D BE WAITING AT THE DOOR WHEN HE GOT HOME AT NIGHT
HE'D PASS ME BY TO GO PASS OUT IN HIS CHAIR
AND I'D SAY WALK A LITTLE STRAIGHTER DADDY
YOU'RE SWAYING SIDE TO SIDE
YOU'RE FOOTSTEPS MAKE ME DIZZY
AND NO MATTER HOW I TRY
I KEEP TRIPPING AND STUMBLING
IF YOU'D LOOK DOWN HERE YOU'D SEE
WALK A LITTLE STRAIGHTER DADDY
YOUR LEADING ME
HE STUMBLED IN THE GYM ON GRADUATION DAY
I COULDN'T HELP BUT FEEL SO ASHAMED
AND I WASN'T SURPRISED A BIT WHEN HE DIDN'T STAY
HE STUMBLED OUT BEFORE THEY CALLED MY NAME
AND I THOUGHT WALK A LITTLE STRAIGHTER DADDY
YOUR SWAYING SIDE TO SIDE
IT'S NOT JUST ME WHO'S WATCHING
YOU'VE CAUGHT EVERYBODY'S EYE
AND YOUR TRIPPING AND STUMBLING AND EVEN THOUGH I'VE TURNED 18
WALK A LITTLE STRAIGHTER DADDY
YOUR LEADING ME
MY DADS JUST LIKE HE ALWAYS WAS
BUT I LOVE HIM ANYWAY
IF I'VE LEARNED ONE THING FROM HIM
ITS MY KIDS WON'T HAVE TO SAY
WALK A LITTLE STRAIGHTER
